Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start my own bourbon brand?
Talk with us! The best way to get a sense for the process of starting your own bourbon brand is to talk with someone who’s done it, a lot. We’ve helped dozens of brands—including Five Trail, 15 Stars, Blue Run and Forbidden (among others) create award-winning bourbon expressions. (Not to mention our Bardstown Bourbon and Green River Whiskey brands—award winners in their own right.)
How much does it cost to start a bourbon brand?
Costs can range widely depending on what kind of bourbon you want to make, how much of it you want to produce, and how long you want to age it. We can talk you through those variables to help you calculate your bourbon budget.
What’s the minimum order quantity for new distillation?
As a full-service, end-to-end producer we take on projects of all sizes across the range of distilling, aging, storing, bottling and packaging. But as a general rule we work best with commitments of at least 300 barrels.
Can I buy aged bourbon from you?
Yes. We have a huge variety of mashbills, both bourbon and rye, aging in our rickhouses. These barrels are available for you to bring your project to life.
How do I choose a recipe for my bourbon?
Our team of blenders and distillers will work with you to find the right recipe to express your vision.
What aspects of the whiskey can I customize?
Custom isn’t our middle name for nothing: we offer more than 500 points of customization to realize your vision. From more than 50 mash bills (and counting) to barrel char level to the specs in our state of the art lab, Lofted Custom Spirits was built to distill your exact vision. We even have two distinct facilities:
Bardstown Bourbon Company offers the nation’s most technologically advanced facility of its kind.
Green River Distilling’s 40-year-old still (with a copper rectifier) is ideal for classic Kentucky distillation methods.
How long does it take for my bourbon to be delivered?
That all depends on the product. If you need it now, we can work with you to select from our inventory of aged bourbons. If you prefer to start from your own custom distillate, then it’s up to you how long you’d like to wait to get your aged product to market.
Do you provide bottling, labeling and packaging services?
Yes — whether you distill with us or just need us to take care of the last steps, our packaging facilities can handle it.
What is an alternating proprietorship?
Lofted Custom Spirits now offers access to a facility equipped for alternating DSPs, including a dedicated processing area. This allows customers to take advantage of reduced tax rates offered under TTB's Craft Beverage Modernization Act (CBMA), even without operating your own dedicated facility.
How do I set up my DSP?
While we cannot assist with the set up and management of your DSP, we have legal partners ready to support you in the process.
Can I store my bourbon with you?
Yes, we offer storage and aging to all of our partners.
I have a certain taste profile in mind. Can you match it?
Yes — whether it’s a blend of aged bourbon or developing a mash bill to hit the notes your palette desires, our team has the experience and expertise to get you there.
What are your lab capabilities?
We have a full-service, state of the art lab that checks everything from Ph to ABV, turbidity to stability, color to flavor profile and dry goods testing to ensure the highest quality product throughout the process.
Since you produce so many brands, how do I know mine will get your full attention?
We take a pro-bourbon stance and want to see the whole market get bigger. We’d be happy to introduce you to any of our partners who’ve been in your shoes before and can attest to the care we give to making their brands a success.
Can you help me with introductions to distributors?
Our team can certainly offer perspective on going to market—after all, we’ve done so with our own brands. We’re happy to make introductions where we have relationships to help you find the right match for your brand.
Can you help design my labels and marketing materials?
While we don’t offer these services directly, we do have a list of trusted partners like The Indelible we can recommend to help with your brand’s development and expansion.
Can I tour your facilities?
Yes. In fact, come have lunch in our restaurant. We can talk about your vision before taking a spin through our state of the art distilling, aging, lab and bottling facilities.
