Unlock Your Brand's Spirit

This process helps ensure your private-label spirits are unique, compliant, and positioned to capture consumer interest upon release.

Discovery

  • Begin by selecting a distillery with a solid reputation for quality and private labeling services. Explore their range of bourbons, gins, and vodkas, sampling various options to ensure they align with your brand’s vision.
  • During this phase, clarify production minimums, pricing, and any customization options for flavor profiles to create a unique offering.

Naming

  • Develop a distinct brand name that captures the essence of your private label. The name should resonate with your target audience and stand out in the competitive spirits market.
  • Conduct trademark research to ensure the name is available and doesn’t conflict with other spirit brands.

Package Design

  • Collaborate with designers to create eye-catching labels, bottle shapes, and overall packaging that reflect the brand’s personality and the spirit of each product (bourbon, gin, vodka).
  • Ensure that design elements like colors, fonts, and graphics convey your brand’s unique story and appeal to your target market.

Government Approval

  • Submit your product labels and any branding elements to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) for approval, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
  • Obtain necessary permits, including an Alcohol Dealer Registration, and make sure all legal standards for production and distribution are met.

Production

  • Once approvals are in place, begin production with the distillery partner. Monitor the process to ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to any customized recipes or aging processes.
  • The distillery will handle bottling and label application, but maintain a close relationship to verify that your specifications are met at every stage.

Delivery

  • Arrange for the delivery of your finished product. Coordinate logistics to ensure efficient transport from the distillery to your distribution points, whether retail stores, bars, or direct-to-consumer channels.
  • Once received, implement a marketing strategy to launch your brand, including tastings, promotions, and social media outreach to introduce your spirits to the market and build brand recognition.
