Private Label Vodka and Spirit Contract Manufacturers
Spirits manufacturing is regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau under strict standards of identity that define what each spirit type must be. Vodka must meet the TTB standard for vodka. Whiskey has multiple subcategories each with their own legal definitions. Gin must be flavored predominantly with juniper. These standards of identity affect your formulation, your sourcing, and your label claims. Your manufacturing partner must hold a TTB Distilled Spirits Plant permit, and all labels require TTB Certificate of Label Approval before commercial sale.
Private label spirits most commonly involve sourcing from existing distillery inventory (known as sourcing or non-distillery production) and applying a custom label and brand. This is the fastest path to market and requires no distilling investment. Custom distillation, where a distillery produces a spirit to your specification from raw materials, requires a longer timeline and higher minimum volume but produces a proprietary product with genuine production story. Both approaches are represented in this directory.
