Company Description

Grand Teton Distillery is an American-owned and operated craft distillery, now in its 9th year making award winning vodka, bourbon and whiskey. We believe that today’s snow is tomorrow’s spirits, so we source our water directly from the Grand Teton mountain range.

We believe that USA-made and owned spirits are as good, if not better than the more well-known, familiar foreign brands that dominate the market today. It is our mission to create high quality hand crafted spirits that exemplify the grandeur of our surrounding environment, while encouraging distributors to handle and promote USA craft products as well as they do foreign brands.

Key Deal Facts

The US craft spirits market is expected to reach $20 billion by 2023 and craft spirits are expected to grow by 30.22% between 2020 and 2027.
Grand Teton Distillery has won the highest awards in the industry: multiple Double Gold Medals for both its vodka and whiskey, with its Potato Vodka consistently ranked in the top five vodkas in the world.
The Distillery’s partnership with Channing Tatum gave way to the creation of our Born and Bred vodka, and our vodka was featured in two of his latest movies: “Kingsman - Golden Circle” and “Logan Lucky”.
