This is an extremely rare opportunity. While many hold the dream of owning and running a craft distillery business, the reality is that most that under take this effort fail. This is mainly due to the need during the initial years not only for a strong capital expenditure, but also the requirement that the operation be exceptionally well managed and run during this early period as operations, branding, distribution, and product are all being developed. For those that can manage this gauntlet, the opportunity and associated margins can be highly rewarding and lucrative. Once established, however, the opportunity to acquire one of these successful enterprises are rare and few and far between. To find one with the consistency and strong profitability like this opportunity is a rare opportunity indeed. This business has been run like a tight ship with strong and consistent SDE over the years. The elements needed for a smooth transition to a new owner are in place including outstanding vendor relations, an impeccable brand and reputation, beautiful and functional facilities and tasting room, great market positioning, and well-established relationships.

This single-owner company, with a focus on whiskey distilling, is located in legislatively-friendly New York state, which also provides highly convenient and cost-effective distribution to all major metropolitan markets in the Northeast United States.

For potential buyers already in this industry, beyond geographic expansion and operating/production capacity the target company offers other distillers the opportunity to diversify their portfolio, expand brand presence across market and consumer sectors and leverage operations, distribution, and sales capabilities to grow/expand the target’s existing brands into new markets.
