Boutique Micro-Distillery in
Historic Downtown Wilmington, NC

This age old proverb is exactly what we are known for! You get nowhere following what everyone else does; individuality and creativity can be the key to something great. We wanted to create a brand that truly represented North Carolina. Not just to native Carolinians but also to the millions of people that visit North Carolina annually for vacation, education, military, banking, or most importantly a great time! When you come to North Carolina, Momentum wants to send you home locally or abroad with a unique souvenir. A souvenir we developed while owning Momentum Surf and Skate in downtown Wilmington. Hunter Ford had the idea to develop and patent a North Carolina shaped bottle and find the right spirits to fill it with. We sought out a custom bottle manufacturer, worked back and forth on the design, had samples made, and let the lawyers work out the fine details. It was a difficult process but the outcome has been amazing. So we put “the cart before the horse” and spent the last few years developing the perfect horse to fill our bottle!
