Western Reserve Distillers is a family-owned organic craft distillery located in Lakewood, Ohio just a few minutes from downtown Cleveland. We produce a complete range of world-class organic spirits including vodka, gin, rum, Blanco, reposado, bourbon, rye whiskey, and wheat whiskey right here in the heart of North East Ohio. All of these products are a direct result of carefully crafted farmer partnerships with organic farmers in Ohio, Louisiana, and the Jalisco region of Mexico. We strive to develop direct partnerships with all of our farmer partners as this allows us to ensure that a larger percentage of the revenue from the sale of their crops remains with them to reinvest into sustainable agriculture practices.
In addition to our organic product line, we have worked with a select number of award-winning distilleries in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana to hand-select barrels of whiskey that are very close to our mash bills that have already been aged. While this approach may seem a little counterintuitive, it does provide a number of key business benefits and is a very common approach with the major distilleries in Kentucky.
By selling pre-aged whiskey, we are able to better gauge consumer acceptance of different mash bills and the price points of those products in the market. We are also able to generate critical revenue to invest in building our own barrel-aged organic whiskey and agave spirit products and gain a better perspective of how much product will be required to meet consumer demand.
