The Tan Lines Founder
Meet Our Founder: Aaron Rieniets, MBA
Welcome to the world of Tan Lines Distilling, where our founder, Aaron Rieniets, blends his extensive knowledge and spirited passion into every bottle. A seasoned connoisseur of fine spirits, Aaron's journey from the bustling streets of Melbourne to the craft distilleries of Portland, Oregon, has imbued him with a rich tapestry of experiences and a deep appreciation for diverse flavors and techniques.
Upon returning to Australia in 2019, Aaron chose the sunny shores of Townsville, QLD, as the home for Tan Lines Distilling. Inspired by the laid-back beach culture and the vibrant natural beauty of the region, he set out to create a line of spirits that capture the essence of Australian joie de vivre mixed with tropical flair.
At Tan Lines Distilling, we're dedicated to crafting spirits that are as enjoyable and unique as the moments you spend sipping them. Our approach is simple yet profound: blend the highest quality with a dash of Aussie wit and a whole lot of dedication to authenticity. We're not just making spirits; we're creating experiences that celebrate life's pleasures.
Our ethos is underpinned by three core values: integrity, community, and legacy. These principles guide us in our mission to produce exceptional spirits that bring people together. We take pride in our craft, yet we approach our work with a light heart and a commitment to enjoyment.
So come join us, and let's raise a glass to the good times, the great company, and the unforgettable spirits. Here's to the journey ahead and the memories we'll create along the way. Cheers, mate!
