GRAND MOUND, WA, UNITED STATES, December 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Talking Cedar, a state-of-the-art craft distillery, brewery, and restaurant on Chehalis Tribal lands, announced today its ambitious plans for brand development. After announcing a new whiskey program under the consultation of former Westland Managing Director Matt Hofmann and launching an impressive slate of new craft spirits and beers, the budding crown jewel of Pacific Northwest craft spirits production has declared a new phase of growth that will see it open new markets, reach new consumers, and communicate more closely than ever with press and influencers, continuing to work closely with OVERTON & ASSOCIATES.

Talking Cedar’s campaign with OVERTON & ASSOCIATES — a Manhattan-based strategic communications agency with a singular focus on spirits and category-building — will introduce the brand to key tastemakers through an upcoming on-site launch party and press trip in December, as well as the unveiling of a new, cutting-edge website redesign. Echoing the brand’s historic role in overturning an Andrew Jackson-era law prohibiting spirits production on Indigenous lands, the theme of the rebrand and its accompanying launch celebration will be “Freedom to Distill.”

The Celebration

Open to the public, the Freedom to Distill Launch Party is a celebration of Talking Cedar’s past, present, and future — with its craft spirits and brand fans square in the spotlight of the festivities. The distillery is home to the largest continuous still west of the Mississippi and currently produces ten spirits, including its award-winning Kayak Gin; a series of hand-crafted, small-batch flavored whiskeys; a lineup of cask-finished brandies; and a blended malt whiskey created in collaboration with Westland Distillery. The launch party will also pay homage to the Chehalis People’s instrumental role in overturning the racist 1834 Federal law banning distilling on Tribal lands, a triumph that ultimately cemented Talking Cedar as the first tribal-owned distillery on native land.

Freedom to Distill will take place at Talking Cedar on Friday, December 6 at 5:30 PM. For an admission price of $35, guests will have unlimited access to four different drinks stations featuring Talking Cedar’s premium spirits uniquely paired with specially curated dishes for this event only. Guests will include community members, Chehalis tribal members, and local press, influencers, and tastemakers. To attend, please RSVP HERE.
