ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The first all female-owned spirits company in New Mexico is gaining more and more fans. We started the journey almost four years ago, and we just launched in December, said Nicole Kapnison, the founder and CEO of Nikle Co. So it s only been about five months since our products have been out on shelves.
Their gin hasn t been on the market for long, but it s already a hit locally and worldwide. Last week, their gin won a medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. We really didn t know much about the competition when we submitted, Kapnison said. It was just the soonest one coming up and we just put it out there. We almost missed the deadline.
