Arizona Tribune - LQR House Inc. Secures Second Major Purchase Order for SWOL Tequila Following LCBO Approval in Canada

This milestone comes after over 50% of the initial inventory has already sold, with the remaining cases expected to sell out before the new order arrives in Ontario-highlighting the strong and accelerating demand for SWOL Tequila in the region. With this latest order, OTE is actively expanding its distribution footprint, making SWOL Tequila available in select restaurants and bars across the province with plans for further growth.

With tariffs and ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S.-made alcohol sales in Canada, LQR House sees a strategic opportunity to ship SWOL Tequila directly from Mexico to Canada. The company has long recognized that Canada's premium tequila market lags behind the U.S., and with these new trade barriers, access to high-end brands in Canadian liquor stores may become even more limited. Since SWOL Tequila is shipped directly from Mexico to Canada and has already received LCBO approval for sales in Ontario, LQR House believes it is well-positioned to gain significant traction in the Canadian market.

"The response to SWOL Tequila has far exceeded our expectations," said Jason Pucci, CEO of Of The Earth Distribution Corp. "Selling over half of our initial consignment so quickly confirmed what we had hoped-Ontario's tequila drinkers are eager for something new and unique. We now have continuous demand for this exceptional brand and are committed to expanding its availability throughout the province. SWOL brings a distinct character to the market-something that discerning tequila drinkers immediately recognize and appreciate."

The Company believes that this second major purchase order comes as a strong validation of SWOL Tequila's premium positioning and consumer appeal. This success highlights the effectiveness of LQR House's strategic partnership with OTE, reinforcing the Company's ability to deliver sought-after brands to new markets.

"Working with OTE has been an incredible experience for all of us at LQR House," said Sean Dollinger, CEO of LQR House. "This second purchase order- following LCBO approval-reaffirms what we knew all along: SWOL Tequila is not just another spirit on the shelf. It's a differentiated product that captivates consumers, keeping them coming back for more. We are excited to see its continued expansion and impact in the Ontario market."

As demand for high-quality, artisanal tequila continues to rise, LQR House remains committed to expanding the reach of SWOL Tequila while maintaining its reputation for excellence in product curation and market execution.
