Cheers ...
to the Spirit of Hollywood
Hollywood Distillery was born from the passion of three longtime residents who share a deep love for their city and the art of crafting fine spirits. Our journey began in 2016 when Larry Neuberg, Jeff Zarrinnam, and Ferris Wehbe, known as the partners in hooch, united to create a premium line of spirits that honors the legacy of Hollywood.
Driven by a desire to master the craft, we traveled the world, learning the intricacies of distilling and fermentation. Fast forward to today, where our artisanal spirits blend tradition with innovation, offering flavors as rich as Hollywood’s own history. Each bottle serves as a tribute to the city’s glamorous past while celebrating its vibrant present.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to our community; we use only local, organic ingredients, ensuring that every sip reflects the essence of our hometown. That’s why we are more than just a producer of spirits; Hollywood Distillery is our way of honoring the city’s legacy while shaping its future, one sip at a time.
