RETAIL PROMOTIONS ASSOCIATE

Marussia Beverages USA / Watershed Distillery

Watershed Distillery started as an idea between two friends to trade in the comfort of the known for the dream of creating something bigger than themselves. It was a wager fueled by passion, backed by community, and grown by sheer will. The dream has inspired us to create award winning spirits since 2010 and is why we’ll continue to do it for years to come. 

Forever forging our own path, Watershed Distillery was acquired by Marussia Beverages USA in July 2023. Marussia Beverages USA is a producer and national importer of premium spirits, sake, and wines including brands such as Hatozaki Whiskies, Mozart Chocolate Liqueurs, Torabhaig Scotch Whiskies, and Akashi Tai Sakes. 

This strategic merger is part of our overall ambition to constantly grow and continually invest in our team so that our success allows our families, colleagues, customers, and communities to realize their full potential.
