Distiller’s Dream Opportunity

Sirio Lumizia is quoted saying “Passions are the perfume of life. Without them, even the best cocktail is only colored water.”. What better way for us to introduce this opportunity awaiting a passionate owner with a love for spirits, cocktails, and the craft.

We are pleased to present a unique opportunity to acquire a Michigan Based craft distillery, housed in a beautiful downtown Mid-Michigan location. A gorgeous tasting room in a fully restored 100-year-old 9,500 square foot, facility is stocked with well-maintained equipment, smallware’s, and cocktail supplies along with a robust collection of barrels and bottled spirits either aging their way to perfection or ready to pour. The assets of this operation are paired with a brand that earned a gold medal in the prestigious San Francisco Spirits Competition!

This opportunity has the groundwork to become an amazing business in the right hands. The seller who is semi-absentee recognizes that he cannot give the operation the time it needs to truly become successful and reach its full potential. As such the equipment, inventory, and goodwill of this established business are being offered at favorable terms for an eager and qualified buyer.

Whether a brewer, distiller, or strategic buyer looking to expand their footprint and/offerings there is a lot to love about this package being offered at $395,000.

• Late model, lightly used distillery equipment with an original new cost basis of $250,000.

• Inventory includes over 5,000 proof gallons of barreled inventory and 4,000 bottles of assorted whiskey varieties along with gin, vodka, rum, and liqueurs. The cost basis of all inventory approximates $145,000

• The value of the assets bolstered by the goodwill of the business including the award-winning brand, an active tasting room, a solid base of distribution channels, and plenty of lessons learned.

Assume the existing lease……purchase the inventory and equipment at cost……soak up all the knowledge from existing ownership through a meaningful transition and you have a great, unique business which would otherwise have huge barriers to entry. This total package being offered at $395,000.
