We work with distilleries, Non-Distilling Producer brands, and institutional level capital partners across every stage of the bulk whiskey market — from new make and bulk whiskey to high-age, specialty inventory for premium releases.

Our approach is direct, transparent, and rooted in integrity. We represent our clients' interests to help them procure the right liquid at the right time. We aim to understand the finished product and work as an extension of the brand's trusted team — delivering premium liquid with operational efficiency and the ability to grow with you over time.

Who We Serve

Built for Today's
Whiskey Market.

The bulk spirits market operates on relationships and information, but traditional brokerage models operate with rigidity. We meet the market where it is and help our clients understand their options from immediate buys to cadenced supply agreements for long-term volume forecasting.

For Brands

Established & Emerging

Source the liquid your brand needs to grow and deliver. From project-specific procurement to long-term inventory strategy, we help brands build and protect their edge in the sourced market with trust and confidence.

For Capital Partners

Portfolios & Principals

Navigate the whiskey market with clarity. Whether evaluating specific parcels or deep portfolios, we provide market data, rigorous portfolio evaluation, and end-to-end transaction support tailored to effectively position you in the market.

Path to Market

Producers & Sellers

Connect your excess aged inventory with qualified buyers. We help our supply-side partners see the market more clearly, then work to facilitate transactions efficiently at terms that reflect the current market.

The Person
Behind the Work.

Jack Sullivan

Founder

Jack believes in whiskey as a shared story, one that takes trust and foundational relationships with the right partners to scale and grow. He partners with brands and a close network of capital partners, simplifying procurement, pricing fairly, and solving for the cost-intensive pieces of barrel ownership through unique, client-first solutions that most people ignore.

He's committed to building a model that is repeatable, straightforward, and efficient, so that liquid procurement feels like agency, not arbitrage.
