One year after closing Vintage Drift on 900 South, I’m looking back at what that space meant, what the last year has taught me, and how the business has continued to evolve. Losing the storefront was painful, but it also pushed me to rethink success, community, and what I want Vintage Drift and Kissing Whiskey Vintage to become next. The story didn’t end when the doors closed. It just changed shape.

After years of pop-ups, markets, and building community, we celebrate the opening of the Vintage Drift SLC storefront on 900 South and the people who helped make it possible.
