A rare opportunity to acquire a fully licensed, high-capacity spirits production platform in Upstate New York, offered together with the award-winning apple-based spirits brand it produces. This is a platform that would take years and substantial capital to replicate. The business is an established craft spirits producer whose facility has operated since 2013, combining distillation, fermentation, bottling, storage and tasting capabilities within a single production platform.
The sale includes the company's brand and intellectual property, finished goods inventory, turnkey distillery, owned real estate and installed production and packaging equipment. THE PLATFORM: 22,000 sq ft production facility on 25 owned acres, with in-house filtration, filling and bottling, case taping and material handling. Six stills: two Bridgetown column stills (750 and 150 gallons) plus four electric single-column Genio stills.
The still manufacturer has confirmed the two main stills can produce up to approximately 300 gallons per day at 190 proof on a 24-hour basis, and the facility operates with significant capacity headroom for growth. More than 30,000 gallons of fermentation capacity, with a fully automated bottling line running 50 mL, 375 mL, 750 mL and 1 L formats. Ready-to-drink products are developed and trademarked; a dedicated canning line is not yet installed.
Leased tavern space provides an existing rental stream. THE BRAND: 27 industry medals across 12 competitions since 2019. Large on-premise placement in marquee New York venues and established distribution relationships across multiple U.
S. markets. 71 earned-media placements and $11.
6M in advertising value in five months. A 9,000-name direct-to-consumer customer list transfers with the business. All products are GFCO gluten-free and Kosher certified.
THE LICENSES: The facility operates under federal and New York State manufacturing licenses and permits (TTB Federal Basic Permit, NY Class A-1 Distiller, NY Farm Distiller Class D). Subject to buyer qualification and applicable regulatory approvals, the platform may provide access to self-distribution, direct-to-consumer e-commerce shipping, on-premise retail, an 80% reduction in federal excise tax and New York's production credit of up to $6.44 per qualifying gallon.
The farm distiller license is not available separately from the farm and is expected to convey at closing. THE OPPORTUNITY: One platform, multiple avenues for utilization: branded production, contract manufacturing, private label, bottling, ready-to-drink cocktails, non-alcoholic products, agritourism and expanded distribution. The installed bottling capability also offers tequila bottling optionality for imported bulk spirits.
Operating know-how and the production team are available to grow the platform or support an orderly transition under new ownership. Particularly suited to strategic spirits companies, beverage groups, importers, contract manufacturers, family offices and operators seeking an established U.S.
production platform with owned real estate. The company's identity and the full Confidential Information Memorandum are available following execution of a non-disclosure agreement. Use the inquiry form on this listing to request the NDA.
