WHISKEY HOUSE OF KENTUCKY IS THE MOST
ADVANCED DISTILLERY IN THE UNITED STATES
PRODUCTION PARTNER FOCUSED ONLY ON YOU
Taking inspiration from some of the best co-manufacturing facilities in the world, Whiskey House was designed from the start for flexible, consistent, high-quality contract whiskey production. With long-term contracts, unparalleled customer service, and competitive pricing, we create the highest-quality and most distinctive custom whiskey for our exclusive customers. Whiskey House will never have its own brands. Our state-of-the-art facility is closed to the public, because we’re hyper-focused on the needs of our customers.
CUSTOM WHISKEY PRODUCTION
From bourbon and rye, to single malt, we produce anything in the American Whiskey category. Whether matching existing recipes, creating custom mash bills, or developing new flavor profiles, our expert team works with customers to produce the highest quality liquid. We customize every aspect of the manufacturing process to produce a whiskey flavor profile that meets your exacting specifications, including:
• Selecting and sourcing the highest quality grains
• Designing the mashing procedure
• Choosing the optimal nutrients, enzymes, and yeast
• Creating the preferred fermentation processes
• Establishing the distillation controls
• Curating and procuring barrels with our strategic cooperage partners

A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM LIKE NO OTHER
We work with some of the best brands in the world. Our partnership offers a collaborative working environment that is designed to make our facility your home.
As your long-term production partner, we provide dedicated on-site resources to help you every step of the way, including:
• Workspace for planning liquid design, brand development, and overseeing production.
• Extensive whiskey research library, developed in conjunction with our grain, yeast, and barrel suppliers.
• Training, educational, and hospitality facilities for you to bring your distributors and sales teams.
COMMITTED TO QUALITY, SAFETY, & SUSTAINABILITY
With the most sophisticated laboratory in the whiskey industry, we ensure that our production meets the highest quality standards. We have three full sensory tasting booths (with dedicated HVAC systems, RO water sinks, red light to mask liquid color) to enable complete blind sensory analysis.
Whiskey House is already in line to receive seven ISO certifications, which is more than any other distillery in the world.
In addition, by capturing and recirculating heat and energy across the manufacturing system, Whiskey House uses more than 40% less energy than the most efficient Energy Star Certified distilleries.
DELIVERING THE CRITICAL DATA
Whiskey House incorporates a proprietary, state-of-the art technological platform that enables us to capture data from every aspect of the manufacturing process.
Through our secure, proprietary portal, our customers have immediate access to critical information about production and inventories. In the near future, the portal will also give customers information on chemistries, sensory data, and ultimately full traceability of every aspect of production. Our partners will also be able to see their barrel inventory in 3D and seamlessly order samples and transfer inventory.
STATE-OF-THE-ART BARREL MATURATION
Unlike other contract production facilities, our customers’ barrels won’t get stored in different size warehouses or in undesirable locations inside massive barrel warehouses where there is little airflow and stagnant conditions.
Working with one of the leading thermodynamics companies, we created a unique design to ensure consistent airflow throughout our warehouses. Longer and thinner, with triple the number of air vents and a long, center roof ridge vent, each of our 42.5k barrel rickhouses provides the same, optimal maturation cycle.
CUSTOM FINANCING SOLUTIONS
We’ve partnered with Whiskey Capital on the creation of a first-of-its-kind collaboration to provide Whiskey House clients with barrel financing options.
Whiskey Capital, through its latest $150 million lending facility, provides non-dilutive, non-recourse debt capital to whiskey brands and distilleries, backed by whiskey barrel collateral. This partnership establishes Whiskey Capital as a preferred financing provider to Whiskey House’s exclusive distilling customers.
Whiskey Capital’s individual loans vary in size from $1 million to $30 million with options to defer a portion of interest costs during the initial years of the loans. Customized solutions are available for a mixture of borrower profiles, ranging from early-stage pre-cash flow to mature nationally distributed brands.
