Walter Zausch
Owner, Whiskey Thief Distillery
“As a small craft distillery, Whiskey Thief faced difficulty getting our direct-to-consumer sales efforts going. After exploring multiple options without success, we were nearly ready to give up on finding a viable solution. We then discovered Kentucky Bourbon Direct. Their unique approach not only aligned with our goals and values but also empowered us to maintain a direct connection with our customers – reaching them where they are, with what they want.”

They offer a turnkey solution of handling and providing resources to handle licensing, compliance, reporting, packaging, fulfillment and shipping so we can concentrate on production and branding. We look forward to growing with them as the market expands.”
