Old Town Scottsdale’s first and only micro-distillery One Handsome Bastard has a lot of new milestones to celebrate—and they’re doing so by hosting a public vodka tasting and bottle signing event this Sat., Aug. 2., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event marks the launch of the local, family-owned brand’s One Handsome Bastard vodka at Safeway at 32551 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85266.
It also celebrates the recently inked a partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) through the Give for More Life initiative. As part of the collaboration, 10% of proceeds from every bottle of One Handsome Bastard Vodka will benefit LLS’s mission to cure blood cancers and improve the lives of patients and their families.

“This partnership with LLS is deeply meaningful to our family,” say founders Trish and Bren Ritchie in a joint statement. “We’re proud to support an organization that brings hope and healing to so many, and we’re equally grateful to the Scottsdale community for helping us reach this milestone. Launching at Safeway is a celebration of how far we’ve come, and a chance to give back in the same spirit that built us.”
One Handsome Bastard, founded by a mother-daughter duo in tribute to their late husband and father, is known for its premium, small-batch gin and vodka, hand-distilled in partnership with Blue Clover Spirits. The vodka is made with potatoes sourced by Poland.
