Stone Ledge Spirits Company specializes in high-quality spirits produced in the Ozark Highlands using natural limestone-filtered water, heirloom seed food-grade ingredients and long fermentation. Our distillery is also committed to sustainability and a chemical-free process, and is currently producing one of only two certified "Ozark Highlands" whiskies on the market. The “Ozark Highlands” category of spirits is a new category created by the State of Missouri in 2022, similar to the requirements behind Tennessee Whiskey or Scotch. This new category is creating new experiences for consumers and new opportunity for distillers in the region. We are currently scaling up and expanding our production and distribution capabilities, launching a "brand-on-demand" segment for influencers and celebrities, and building a new "destination" distillery. In 2018, the spirits market worldwide was worth $1.47 trillion. By 2024, it's forecasted to grow to $1.75 trillion. In order to be a part of that growth, our distillery needs to expand its production capabilities and enter new markets with new and existing products. Additionally, celebrities are looking for opportunities to leverage their personal brands in the spirits segment, and the demand for sustainability practices within the spirits industry continues to grow. Our distillery is positioned to address key trends taking place in our industry: Consumer demand for "green" products and sustainability practices from ground to glass. A steady increase in demand for whiskey and the growing home mixologist culture An expected continued growth in the market of 10% over the next 5 years An increasing demand for "destination" distilleries An increase in celebrity or influencer brands A solid support by the state of Missouri for the growth of Ozark Highlands distilleries and spirits In 2018, the spirits market worldwide was worth $1.47 trillion. By 2024, it's forecasted to grow to $1.75 trillion. Our industry sees 40-60%+ margins in all economic environments. As we scale up our production volume, we will capture a portion of the market in key states. Our total revenue over the next 10 years is forecasted at more than $200 million. We are producing high-quality spirits, at an affordable price point, that people enjoy and can afford. Our marketing will vary for different brands. Our Stowloch Whiskey is a traditional, US Ozark Highlands whiskey, aged at least 4 years in Missouri Oak barrels, that has essences of Irish Whiskey, Scotch and Bourbon. Its brand is community and class, and is often accompanied by a high-quality cigar in the company of close friends. Our InverXion Vodka is a premium vodka, distilled 8 times and finished using a vacuum inverted process. It is designed to be enjoyed during your adventures, as adventure favors the bold. It's time to invert your vodka, because X marks the spot. We are currently producing Stowloch Whiskey and InverXion Vodka, and will continue to grow our production capabilities on both. Our new distillery will provide a destination distillery for consumers, and a production and distribution facility for our company. Our products secure a 40-60% margin on each sale and this remains consistent even as volume increases. We anticipate breaking even in 2024. We launched one of the first Ozark Highlands whiskies in the US, and it has been well received and popular. We have a current inventory of 400 barrels of 4-year-aged whiskey available to us today, and we continue to put new barrels up.
