Filmland Spirits announced that it has signed a deal to move its portfolio of small batch American Whiskeys to Agoura Hills-based Pacific Edge Wine & Spirits. The deal expands distribution of Filmland Spirits beyond California to Washington, Arizona and Nevada, more than doubling the brand’s footprint. The agreement took effect June 1, 2023.

Founded in 2022, Filmland Spirits was born from an enthusiasm for whiskey, a passion for movies and a dedication to story-telling. The Filmland team believes that every whiskey has a story, and every story deserves a whiskey.

The result is a creative pairing of an original retro B-Movie concept — complete with monsters, robots and over-the-top plots – with a delicious and unique whiskey – each of which has already won a Gold Medal or higher.  Even the bottles tell part of the story as they are custom designed to reflect an art deco style reminiscent of the movie houses of old and feature movie posters as labels.

In the months since launching, Filmland Spirits have earned the respect and support of whiskey fans and experts alike, as well as a collection of awards from some of the country’s most respected spirits competitions. They most recently earned a Double Gold Medal from the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, having been awarded two Gold Medals at the same competition in their debut year, 2022.

“We’ve been thrilled with the response – from both critics and consumers – to our initial products, and now is the time to use that energy to grow our footprint in our home state and beyond,” said Troy Bolotnick, Founder and CEO, Filmland Spirits, in a news release. “From our initial meeting, I was impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm of the Pacific Edge team. They get our concept and through their extensive network, I am confident that they have what it takes to drive growth as we expand.”

In addition to California, Arizona, Nevada and Washington state, Filmland Spirits are also distributed in Kentucky and available for purchase online. The Filmland portfolio includes:
