Ogden's Own Distillery

What Ogden's Own Distillery does

Ogden's Own Distillery is a privately held craft spirits producer founded in 2009 and based in Ogden, Utah. The company handcrafts a portfolio of alcoholic beverages built around four core brands: Five Wives Vodka (a 100% corn, gluten-free spirit distilled with Utah mountain spring water, with Spicy, Pink, Heavenly, Premium potato, and other variants), Porter's Whiskey (a flavored Canadian whiskey line including Fire cinnamon, Apple, Huckleberry, Peanut Butter, and Rye, named after historical Utah figure Porter Rockwell), Madam Pattirini Gin (named Best Gin in the US by the World Gin Awards), and Underground Herbal Spirit (a proprietary 33-herb liqueur). The portfolio has been expanded with a ready-to-drink canned cocktail line (Huckleberry Smash, Porter's Peach Tea, Gin & Tonic, Vodka Soda, Moscow Mule, Huckleberry Lemonade) and ancillary products such as Bloody Mary mix.

The company operates production, retail, and hospitality out of a 32,000 sq. ft. facility opened in 2020 at the West Ogden Business Park at 615 W. Stockman Way, Ogden, UT 84401, which also includes an outdoor amphitheater for events and Side Bar, a craft cocktail bar voted Ogden's Best Bar in Salt Lake City Weekly's Best of Utah 2022. Production relies on traditional craft distilling methods rather than novel technology platforms, with proprietary formulations (the 33-herb Underground blend and the corn-/potato-based vodka bases) serving as the primary technical differentiators.

Commercially, Ogden's Own operates an omnichannel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer sales through the on-site retail store (with scheduled tasting experiences), wholesale distribution to retail liquor stores nationwide, e-commerce with free shipping on orders over $70 but restricted in nine states (AK, AZ, HI, MA, MI, MS, NH, TN, UT) due to alcohol shipping laws, and on-premise revenue through Side Bar. Pricing sits in the premium craft tier at $23.99-$33.99 per 750mL bottle. The company is led by Co-Founder and CEO Steve Conlin and Founder/Production Manager Timothy Smith, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and has accumulated 30+ industry awards spanning 2013-2026, including Best Vodka and Best Flavored Vodka at the 2026 L.A. Invitational Spirits Challenge.
