Learn How to Distill Alcohol & Start Your Own Distillery

Want to learn how to distill whiskey and other spirits?

Trying to figure out how to start your own distillery?

Been there, done that!

As a self-taught distiller who bootstrapped his own distillery with no investors, I can tell you whatever you need to know to get you started.

Here are a few topics you might want to talk with me about:
- The equipment and ingredients needed to distill, mash, ferment and age different types of spirits
- How to navigate local, state, and federal regulations related to starting a distillery
- How to bootstrap your distillery
- How to build a premium brand and sell your products

I'm also available for a limited number of clients for long-term coaching and consulting. Get in touch with me for more details.

My background:
- Distilling since 2010, self-taught
- Established the first legal distillery in Charlottesville, Virginia, self-funded
- Extensive experience with importing and distributing wine & spirits

*Note* I am not able to give away my trade secrets, including but not limited to recipes and ingredients used to make our brand's Old Tom Gin, but I can tell you what your options are for botanicals so you can develop your own recipes.

Ivar was beyond helpful in our fledgling operation. He had excellent insight on everything from regulation to distribution. We're glad that we made this call, and it was worth every penny. We'll likely be reaching out again for more of his excellent advice.
