info_outlineBourbon, badass women, and a bold new brand shaking up the spirits industry? Now that’s my kind of conversation! Especially during Women’s History Month.
On The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the pleasure of chatting with Molly Kingston, the trailblazing founder of Oakley Bourbon—a woman-led brand making serious waves in a traditionally male-dominated industry. And trust me, this story is as smooth and strong as the bourbon itself!
A Spirit with Spirit: Inspired by Annie Oakley
Molly’s inspiration? None other than the legendary Annie Oakley—the sharpshooter and symbol of female empowerment. Just like Annie, Molly had the nerve (and the gut!) to disrupt an industry that didn’t see her coming. She invested in rare bourbon barrels, studied the business, and noticed something missing—a bourbon brand that truly spoke to women.
Enter Oakley Bourbon—the world’s first and only bourbon to launch with a 20-year-old edition. Yep, you read that right. Thousand-dollar bottles sold out in minutes, and collectors are lining up for more.
Why Bourbon? Why Now?
Women are making their mark in whiskey, and Molly saw an opportunity to create a brand that felt inclusive, stylish, and bold—just like the women who drink it. Oakley Bourbon is all about strength, independence, and community—values that Annie Oakley herself would have raised a glass to.
And speaking of collectors, Oakley is the first spirits brand to use Solana Blockchain anti-fraud technology on its bottles—ensuring authenticity for decades. This high-tech touch has serious whiskey enthusiasts clamoring to get their hands on a bottle.
More Than Just a Drink—It’s a Lifestyle
Molly isn’t just selling bourbon—she’s building a movement. From limited-edition collector bottles to exclusive Royale playing cards that unlock VIP experiences, Oakley Bourbon is about bringing people together over a glass of something truly special.
And let’s talk about that bottle—designed with women in mind. No clunky, hard-to-hold packaging here. Oakley Bourbon’s bottle is elegant, sleek, and made for a woman’s grip—but don’t worry, gentlemen, you’re invited to the party too!
What’s Next for Oakley?
With Collector’s Edition 2 on the way and a special summer release in the works, Oakley Bourbon is just getting started. And if Molly Kingston’s track record is any indication, the best is yet to come.
So grab your fringe jacket, cowboy hat, and a glass of Oakley Bourbon—because this is one brand that’s ready to ride into the future.
Want to learn more? Head to OakleySprirts.com and get in on the action.
And to Molly—cheers to you, your vision, and the women raising a glass to history!
Oakley Bourbon: A perfect choice to toast to women who disrupt and innovate.
P.S. Obviously Molly agrees with my mantra …“Risk It! or Regret it!”
