lifestyle—they know and appreciate premium alcohol and
that’s exactly the kind of clientele that will make Beveran
become popular.”
Serving both as a direct distributor as well as the brain
behind the brand, Ficklin wears many hats—a clear reflection
of just how tireless and determined he is to succeed in
this dream, despite the taxing nature of his work on the
rig. “Ultimately, I want to build Beveran vodka to be an
enthusiastically respected name, one that speaks to living a
certain lifestyle,” he says. “To me, vodka has always been a
way to celebrate the moments that matter in life and to enjoy
time spent with friends—that’s really what I want the brand
to embody. I want every bottle that bears the Beveran name
to bring a quality of flavor and excellence that surpasses all
others.”
That’s a goal and an aspiration worth drinking to, and
Ficklin seems to have found the recipe to create a perfect pour.
