In memory of
Aaron Swopes
Long Line Distillery was launched in 2022 at Windy Wine Company by Kraig Keesaman and his lifelong best friend, Aaron Swopes.
Kraig and Aaron grew up together meeting in grade school and continuing their friendship through high school, martial arts, and eventually working side by side to bring the distillery to life. What started as a shared idea between two friends became something real through years of planning, experimenting, and a lot of late nights perfecting recipes.
Tragically, Aaron passed away later that same year.
Today, Kraig continues to carry that vision forward. Long Line Distillery remains a tribute to their friendship, with every bottle honoring the creativity and passion they built together. By introducing new spirits while continuing to craft the original flavors Kraig and Aaron developed together, the distillery keeps their shared dream alive.
