Frequently Asked Questions
What is private label whiskey and how does it work?
Private label whiskey allows you to create your own branded spirit without owning a distillery. Lofted Spirits offers comprehensive custom bottling and contract distilling services, handling everything from recipe development and distillation to bottling, labeling, and packaging. You can select from over 50 existing mash bills or create a custom recipe with more than 500 points of customization.
How much does it cost to start a private label bourbon brand?
Costs vary widely depending on your bourbon type, production volume, and aging duration. Lofted Spirits works with clients to evaluate these variables and calculate an accurate bourbon budget. Factors include whether you're purchasing aged inventory versus new distillation, barrel quantities, custom recipe development, and packaging specifications.
What are the minimum order quantities for custom spirit bottling?
Lofted Spirits handles flexible production runs ranging from 500 to 50,000 cases for bottling services. For new distillation projects, they work best with commitments of at least 300 barrels. Their four dedicated bottling lines accommodate everything from high-volume national programs to intricate, high-touch single barrel releases with precision and consistency.
How do I start my own private label whiskey brand?
Starting your own whiskey brand begins with partnering with an experienced contract distiller. Lofted Spirits has helped dozens of brands including Five Trail, 15 Stars, and Blue Run create award-winning expressions. The process includes selecting or customizing a mash bill, determining aging requirements, and coordinating bottling and packaging through their end-to-end services.
Can I purchase aged whiskey barrels for my private label brand?
Yes, you can buy aged bourbon directly from contract distillers. Lofted Spirits maintains a huge variety of both bourbon and rye mash bills aging in their rickhouses, available for purchase to bring your project to life immediately. This allows you to launch a brand without waiting years for new distillate to age.
What spirits categories can be bottled through contract bottling services?
Lofted Spirits' custom bottling platform can process a wide variety of spirits including whiskey, vodka, rum, and RTDs (ready-to-drink cocktails). Their facility handles liquid in any format - barrel, tote, or tanker - with capabilities for proof adjustment, filtration methods, and bottling at cask strength across all major spirit categories.
What bottling services do contract distilleries offer?
Lofted Spirits provides comprehensive bottling and packaging services including dry goods sourcing, TTB label compliance, liquid processing (filtration, proofing, chill filtration), and bottling across all size formats from 50ml to 1.75L. Their services include quality control, automated palletization, shrink-wrapping, and coordination with freight carriers for logistics.
What customization options are available for private label whiskey?
Lofted Spirits offers more than 500 points of customization for private label whiskey, including selection from over 50 mash bills, barrel char levels, proof specifications, filtration methods, and lab-verified composition. They operate two distinct facilities - Bardstown Bourbon Company's technologically advanced operation and Green River Distilling's classic Kentucky distillation methods.
Can a contract distillery match a specific whiskey taste profile I have in mind?
Yes, experienced contract distillers can match specific taste profiles. Lofted Spirits' team of blenders and distillers works with clients to achieve desired flavor notes, whether through blending aged bourbon or developing a custom mash bill. Their state-of-the-art lab checks everything from pH to flavor profile to ensure consistency.
What is an alternating proprietorship for craft distilleries?
An alternating proprietorship allows multiple distilled spirits plants (DSPs) to share a facility while maintaining separate operations. Lofted Custom Spirits offers access to a facility equipped for alternating DSPs with a dedicated processing area, enabling customers to take advantage of reduced tax rates under the TTB's Craft Beverage Modernization Act without operating their own dedicated facility.
