Virginia Distillery Co. Introduces: American Custom Distilling Group – A Full-Service Craft Spirits Contract Distiller

February 12, 2025 – Virginia Distillery Co. is proud to introduce American Custom Distilling Group, a contract distiller that offers a full suite of custom distilling and spirits production services designed to support brands, entrepreneurs, and distiller partners seeking to create high-quality craft spirits.  American Custom Distilling offers end-to-end solutions for those looking to enter the industry or expand their portfolio.

Virginia Distillery Co. is the largest privately owned supplier of American Single Malt Whisky, offering one of the most extensive inventories of aged stocks in this newly designated category. Officially ratified by the TTB on January 19, 2025, this designation marks the first major update to American whisky regulations since the 1960s, driving increased interest from suppliers. While American Custom Distilling specializes in American Single Malt, it also operates as a full-service distillery, providing craft production and contract services across all American spirits categories.

American Custom Distilling sits on 100 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a current storage capacity of 15,000 casks and construction plans to build three more cask houses with additional storage of 22,500 casks. The distillery honors the tradition of world class single malt whisky, commissioning Forsythe double copper pot stills, closed top fermentation, and an annual ultra-premium new make capacity of 400,000 proof gallons.

American Custom Distilling provides a range of services, including:

• Custom Distilling: Clients can select any mash bill or raw ingredients—grains, yeast, botanicals, or specialty additions—to craft a spirit that meets their exact specifications.
• Aged Stock: A selection of already-matured spirits is available for those eager to get started without waiting for the aging process. Our deepest reserves are of American Single Malt, while we have world class partners for any category type.
• Contract Bottling: Professional packaging services for your craft spirits, meeting the highest industry standards.
• Packaging Procurement: Comprehensive packaging solutions, from sourcing bottles, caps, and labels to custom decorations and designs, ensuring products stand out.
• Private Label: End-to-end management of brand creation, from recipe development and branding to bottling and distribution, turning client ideas into premium products.
• Warehousing & Cask Storage: Bonded warehouses designed to store spirits under optimal conditions, offering both long-term aging solutions and short-term finished goods storage.
• Cask Sourcing: Access to high-quality barrels for aging, from ex-bourbon and sherry casks to a wide range of unique specialty barrels, ensuring a custom and unique flavor profile.
• Financing Options: We have financing partners available that can assist customers of all shapes and sizes.

"Our mission is to bring our clients' craft spirits to life with a level of care as if they were our own," said the COO, Jerry Heddy. "Whether launching a new brand, diversifying your bourbon portfolio, or investing in American Single Malt, we’re here to be your reliable partner by providing custom tailored solutions, ultra high-quality spirits, and a straightforward price structure."
