$500+ Swag bag of goodies plus an engraved Skeptic tasting glass.
$1,000+ Private tour and tasting for you and up to 5 of your friends, including some unreleased stuff (depending on what's available at the time).
$10,000+ We will produce a custom whiskey based on a beer style of your choice, aged according to your parameters and extremely limited edition just for you.

Skeptic spirits capture and retain the freshness of our base ingredients by distilling at colder, more natural temperatures.
In our first competition, we won "Best In Show" for Gin, "Gin of the Year" and "Vodka of the Year." We've since won a dozen more awards.
Distilling methods haven't changed much in centuries. We fuse science with a craft ethos to deliver new sensory experiences in spirits.
A few years ago we discovered cold vacuum distilling and tried it on craft beer, leading to our Aha! moment.
We will achieve breakeven next year at approx. 250 cases/month, or about $225,000 annual sales, just from vodka and gin.
We believe that our craft beer whiskey will catapult us to profitability rapidly. Demand is at an all-time high.
Our founder has a history of success. He turned a company on the edge of bankruptcy into the industry leader with over 80% market share.
We are 100% self-funded, with no bank/investor debt. In the past 12 months, we've had revenues of $53K despite no distribution until May.
