Press Release

The new Lofted Spirits house of brands strengthens position in whiskey innovation and custom distillation.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE) – A new era in whiskey production is taking shape as Lofted Spirits is established as the parent company uniting Bardstown Bourbon Company, Green River Distilling Co., and Lofted Custom Spirits, the company’s newly renamed contract distillation business. The strategic evolution creates a unified house of brands, reinforcing the company’s leadership in Kentucky bourbon and custom whiskey production.

A Unified Vision for Whiskey Innovation

“Our business has grown tremendously, both in scale and vision, and this is the moment to bring it all together under one name,” said Mark Erwin, CEO of Lofted Spirits. “Lofted Spirits represents our ambition: the ability to operate at an unmatched level in whiskey production while maintaining the agility and independence to push the industry forward.”

Strengthening Kentucky Bourbon and Custom Whiskey Production

Bardstown Bourbon Company and Green River Distilling Co. have built a reputation for award-winning whiskies, custom contract distillation, and a premier bottling and supply chain service. The introduction of Lofted Spirits as the parent company for these businesses bridges the two distilleries and provides a strong brand identity for the company’s custom distillation business, which offers fully customizable, end-to-end whiskey production for brand partners worldwide.

A Future-Focused Approach to Whiskey Making

“This is just the beginning of what’s possible,” added Erwin. “Lofted Spirits is built for the future—and we’re ready to lead the way.”

Bardstown Bourbon Company was acquired by Pritzker Private Capital in March 2022, followed with the acquisition of Green River Distilling Co. in August 2022. As Lofted Spirits, the company will continue to be owned by Pritzker Private Capital with a focus on long-term investment and expansion.
