Charleston’s award-winning Paula Dezzutti Hewlette enters joint venture with second local distillery this year and sets her sights on a new distillery concept in the southeast
Charleston, SC - November 6, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —
Taking the South’s alcohol industry by storm, Renaissance Woman “Pixie” Paula Dezzutti Hewlette signed a deal that will see her joining forces with another Charleston based distillery, Port City LLC, the makers of Red Harbor Rum. This makes the second distillery Pixie added to her portfolio this year, having announced her partnership with Striped Pig Distillery in late summer. The multi-entrepreneur is also in discussions with flagship developers in the southeast region about a groundbreaking distillery concept that could launch in several cities, including Myrtle Beach, Atlanta and the surrounding areas as early as 2019. The projects are open to investors coming forward to share in this lucrative and timely enterprise.
Pixie has been an innovative female voice in many a male dominated industry, bringing decades of financial services qualifications, real estate development, business expertise and experience in the alcohol and beverage industry to her ventures. Her strategic beginnings as an early investor and director on the board of a cutting edge technology company, Terressentia Corporation, cultivated Ms. Hewlette’s skills as Executive Brand Manager and team developer for the renovation of the historic Kentucky Charles Medley Distillery into the state of the art OZ Tyler Distillery. Pixie identified opportunities to leverage her connections in the industry, to eliminate capital waste due to redundancy and economic inefficiency, and to pioneer an innovative turnkey platform for boutique and celebrity brands, winning over seventy awards driving successful distribution across the US and now internationally.
Pixie announced her enthusiasm not only to be joining forces with another locally revered distillery in Charleston, SC, but also to be working on innovative distillery concepts for the southeast region that will be game-changing. Producing exceptional spirits, embracing the tradition of the original craft distillers with the fundamental authentic principles that make brands unique, and enhancing the distillery experience to be an unforgettable visitors center are all at the core of her ventures and partnerships as she collaborates with local businesses on community initiatives. Being embraced by top notch artists, music producers, and the reality TV space, Pixie Paula and her family have signed deals with multiple production companies to share their story of triumph and inspiration with the world.
Less than a month ago, Charleston’s Striped Pig Distillery announced Pixie, Local Choice Spirits founder, would provide new female leadership and strategic vision for the company. Striped Pig Distillery is Charleston’s first distillery since Prohibition and was recently awarded ‘South Carolina Distillery of the Year’ at the New York International Spirits Awards. Striped Pig also picked up multiple awards for their Spiced Rum, Gin and Vodka at both the New York competition and the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Awards, respected internationally as one of the most influential spirits competitions.
