We'd like to congratulate our longest-running client, Litchfield Distillery, on their 10th anniversary. When the Bakers contacted us for help with their branding and marketing many years ago, we hosted them on our rooftop patio to share our vision for the brand. As they walked up the stairs, we printed a quotation on the steps for them to read as they entered our office:
"The highest reward for a personโs toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it." - John Ruskin
It was at this meeting where The Spirit of Hard Work was born. We came up with the line by being inspired by the Baker brothers story. They embody an incredible work ethic and abundant generosity. You'll see the Bakers fixing stills, mopping the floor, giving tours, planning events for nonprofit fundraisers, and so much more. They never hesitate to roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty, and do the work greatness takes.
It's been a true honor to work with the Litchfield Distillery team and help build the brand to where it is today. Congratulations, David, Jack and Peter for all that you have accomplished and for all that you have done for the community. Here's to the next 10 years!

The years have flown by, and itโs taken a lot of sweat and toil to build the brand to where it is today. Weโre fortunate to have an incredible team of employees and brand ambassadors who champion The Spirit of Hard Work every day. Surrounding them are our amazing distributors, talented service providers, and, of course, the hard-working farmers who grow and harvest the grain and fruit that are the building blocks of our spirits. We can't forget all the local businesses that we collaborate with to craft the specialty items we sell out of our Distillery Store. Last, but not least, a huge shoutout to all the retail stores, bars and restaurants that choose to carry us.
Today was just a typical day at the distilleryโno big celebrations or fanfare. After bottling a batch of Maple Bourbon, we paused to toast this milestone with our Founders' Reserve 10th Anniversary Bourbon Whiskey, in your honor. The true joy in this journey is witnessing your passion for Litchfield Distillery and hearing your praise for what we craft. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for blowing wind in our sails!
Cheers,
David, Peter, and Jack Baker ๐๐ฏ๐ช
