A Liquor Distillery is a facility where alcoholic spirits such as whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and brandy are produced, distilled, aged, and bottled for commercial sale. The distillery converts raw ingredients (grains, fruits, sugarcane, etc.) into alcohol through fermentation and distillation.
This Financial Model presents a development and operations scenario of a Liquor Distillery and is a flexible tool for business owners to forecast their financial and operational activities.
The model includes calculations and assumptions for the Distillery Development (Land Acquisition or Lease, Construction Costs, Equipment, etc), Production Assumptions (Daily Batches, Number of Stills, Alcohol Production, Liquor Conversion), Production Mix including up to 5 different Products, Packaging (Bottle size, Case size), Revenue Channels (Domestic Wholesale, Domestic Retail, Exports, Tasting Room & Tours, Merchandise), COGS Assumptions (Raw Materials, Processing Costs, Utilities, Logistics, etc.), Payroll, Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity, and Exit Valuation assumptions in case of a potential sale of the business.
