Portland-based Eastside Distilling saw sales rise 21.2% in 2020, bolstered by triple-digit Tequila growth and demand for its canning services.
Eastside Distilling purchased Azuñia Tequila in 2019
Eastside Distilling, which owns Portland Potato Vodka, posted sales of US$14.8 million in the year ending 31 December.
The group’s spirits sales were boosted by demand for Azuñia Tequila, which Eastside Distilling purchased in September 2019. The brand accounted for a US$1.7m increase over the last year.
Eastside Distilling reported sales of 11,800 nine-litre cases of Azuñia Tequila in 2020, a 136% increase on the previous year.
