ABOUT US
Welcome to the world of Owl Man Distillery, where every sip tells a story of innovation and excellence.
In the heart of Macau, amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 era, a vision was born. It started with a solitary figure, distilling spirits on a balcony, driven by determination and a touch of stubbornness. Our founder, Dan, an airline pilot with a passion for craft beverages, embarked on a journey to create something truly extraordinary.
From those humble beginnings, Owl Man Distillery emerged, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the world of spirits. With relentless determination and a commitment to quality, Dan and his team crafted exceptional spirits that captivated the senses and delighted the soul.
But our journey didn't stop there. As we continued to innovate and explore new horizons, we saw an opportunity to expand our product line. With the introduction of premix cocktails, we found a new way to delight our customers and showcase the versatility of our spirits. From classic favorites to bold new flavors, each cocktail is expertly crafted to deliver a premium experience with every sip.
And the response has been overwhelming. Our premix cocktails have been met with rave reviews, earning praise for their exceptional quality and delicious taste. From intimate gatherings to lively celebrations, they have become a favorite choice for those looking to elevate their drinking experience.
As we continue on our journey of innovation and excellence, we invite you to join us. Raise a glass with us to Owl Man Distillery – where every sip tells a story of passion, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Cheers to the future, and to the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
