Create a Custom Spirit Brand
Design Your Own Private Label Spirits with Timber Creek Winery & Distillery
Businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs often want a bottle that represents their own brand rather than a generic product. Through the Timber Creek private label program, partners can develop custom spirits produced through real grain-to-glass distillation inside the working distillery.
These projects can include handcrafted whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, and other spirits built through controlled fermentation, distillation, and blending. Restaurants may create a house bourbon, resorts may develop a signature bottle for their bar program, and organizations often launch commemorative releases tied to their brand. Visitors interested in how these spirits are developed can also explore the production process during the available distillery experiences.
In addition to spirits, Timber Creek also works with boutique wine producers for projects built around custom-labeled wine programs. These collaborations allow restaurants, hospitality groups, and couples to create distinctive bottles sourced from small wineries and finished locally through in-house bottling and label production.
Whether the goal is to elevate a restaurant menu, launch a new brand, or create a memorable product tied to a specific place, Timber Creek provides the production, blending expertise, and label support needed to bring the idea to life. Partners can learn more about how the process works by exploring the full private label section or reaching out through the contact page.
Why Partner with Timber Creek?
True Customization: At Timber Creek Winery & Distillery, private label spirits begin with real production inside the working distillery. Corn, wheat, rye, and barley are fermented and distilled separately rather than processed together. The distillery uses a traditional pot still paired with a Scottish-style worm condenser, allowing each grain to develop its own character before blending begins.
After distillation, the individual grain spirits are aged in white oak barrels until maturity. Once those components are ready, the final mash bill is built through blending rather than fixed formulas. This allows partners to shape sweetness, spice, structure, and finish until the spirit reflects the flavor profile they want for their brand. Visitors who want to see this process firsthand often experience it during the Bourbon Blending Experience, where separate grain whiskeys are combined into a finished blend.
The same approach carries into gin production. Botanicals are distilled individually and blended afterward, allowing the final flavor profile to be tuned to the brand’s goals. This method allows restaurants, resorts, and organizations to develop a true signature spirit rather than selecting from a standard catalog.
Partners exploring a custom program can review the full private label spirits program, learn more about how production works inside the Timber Creek distillery, or connect directly through the contact page to begin developing a custom spirit brand.

Private Label Spirits & Wine with Timber Creek Distillery
Build Your Brand. Extend Your Identity. Create Something You Own.
At Timber Creek Distillery, strong brands are built on authenticity, quality, and consistency. Through the Private Label Spirits Program, restaurants, hospitality groups, retailers, organizations, and entrepreneurs can create their own branded spirits or wine backed by real production inside a working grain-to-glass distillery.
Private labeling allows businesses to move beyond selling someone else’s brand and begin promoting their own—a product that reflects their identity, their customer experience, and their story. Timber Creek produces whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, and American single malt in-house, while also working with boutique wineries to develop custom private label wine programs.
Why Create Your Own Private Label?
Restaurants, bars, and retailers invest heavily in building a reputation. The food, service, and atmosphere define the brand. A private label program extends that identity into the beverage program by offering a signature product customers cannot find anywhere else.
A private label program allows businesses to:
- Build brand recognition and long-term customer loyalty
- Differentiate from competitors
- Control product positioning and pricing
- Create signature offerings tied directly to the brand
- Capture higher-margin beverage sales
Instead of promoting someone else’s bottle, the business promotes its own brand.
What We Produce
Timber Creek Distillery produces several spirit categories in-house through controlled fermentation, distillation, and blending:
These spirits can be customized to match a specific flavor profile and brand identity. Partners can also explore the distillery’s production approach through the available distillery tours and tasting experiences.
For wine programs, Timber Creek works with small boutique wineries in California producing limited-run wines. These wines are typically unavailable in distribution, allowing partners to offer something unique under their own label.
Who This Program Is For
The private label program generally serves three primary types of partners.
Restaurants, Bars & Retail Beverage License Holders
Businesses holding a retail beverage license can purchase private label spirits or wine directly for resale.
- Minimum order: 10 cases (60 bottles) per product
- Products can include spirits, wine, or both
- Finished bottles are delivered labeled and ready for sale
Distribution laws vary by state. In Florida, Timber Creek works with established distributors and partners such as LibDib to move products into the market when appropriate.
Corporate Gifts, Special Events & Charitable Fundraising
Private label bottles are often used for:
- Corporate gifting
- Weddings and anniversaries
- Private events
- Charity fundraising projects
These direct-sale projects allow organizations to create custom bottles tied to a specific event or cause.
- Minimum order: 10 cases (60 bottles)
- Organizations control how bottles are used or distributed
Brand Owners & Entrepreneurs
Some partners want to launch an entirely new spirits or wine brand. Timber Creek provides a realistic path for starting that process.
Launching a brand requires active promotion and sales. Success tends to be strongest when partners already have:
- An existing business or brand
- A dedicated audience or community
- A strong social media presence
- Membership organizations
- Corporate, hospitality, or military networks
In these cases, the brand owner becomes the primary ambassador while the distillery provides production, bottling, and support.
Online Sales
Alcohol e-commerce regulations vary widely by state. Spirits shipping is limited in many areas, while wine shipping is generally easier due to Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) winery shipping laws. Timber Creek can help partners evaluate online sales strategies based on their goals.
The Private Label Process
The development process typically follows a clear sequence:
- Sample available spirits or wines
- Select the product to brand
- Develop the label design
- Timber Creek produces and bottles the product
- Bottles are labeled and prepared for distribution or direct sale
In most cases, the longest step is label design.
About Label Design
Timber Creek does not operate as a graphic design studio, but the team helps partners navigate the process by:
- Providing label examples
- Explaining required government label elements
- Connecting partners with designers experienced in alcohol label development
Once label approval is complete, the distillery manages production and bottling.
Pricing
- Rum, Vodka, Gin: $20 per bottle
- Whiskey (up to 100 proof): $40 per bottle
Minimum order: 10 cases (60 bottles) per product
Distributor Brand Program (Deposit Model)
For brand owners entering distribution:
- $5,000 production deposit to initiate manufacturing
- The deposit funds the initial production run
- The brand owner receives 100% of revenue until the deposit is repaid
- The deposit is fully recovered as product sells
All details are outlined in the Private Label Contract Manufacturing Agreement.
Final Thoughts
Private labeling allows businesses to build long-term brand value by controlling the product, the story, and the customer experience.
- You control the brand
- You control the narrative
- You control the experience
Whether developing a restaurant house spirit, launching a new beverage brand, creating a custom wine program, or producing bottles for corporate gifting or fundraising, Timber Creek Distillery provides the production infrastructure to support the project.
