What Dunamis Premium Spirits does

Dunamis Premium Spirits is a Florida-based craft distillery headquartered in Zephyrhills, founded in 2020 by Victor Young. The company produces a portfolio of four premium small-batch spirits - Dunamis Interstellar Bourbon (5-year aged), Aero Squadron Vodka, Bianca Supreme 5-Year Aged Rum, and Zulu Hotel Airman's Gin - all processed through a proprietary 16-step Dunamis Micron charcoal filtration system and proofed with Zephyrhills/Crystal Springs water sourced from Florida's designated 'City of Pure Water.' The portfolio has accumulated multiple Double Gold and Gold medals at the Denver International, San Diego, New York International, and The Fifty Best spirits competitions.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: wholesale distribution through state-level distributor partners (currently active in 9 states plus Washington DC, licensed in 18 states), direct-to-consumer sales via an on-site tasting room and 'Buy Now' e-commerce link, co-branded product extensions (Chef G's Bourbon BBQ Sauce in 400+ Publix locations), and emerging international channels covering West Africa export plus planned launches in Greece, Spain, Portugal, and global cruise lines. Aero Squadron Vodka anchors a flagship national partnership with Folds of Honor, directing a portion of proceeds to scholarships for families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders. The company also employs a Kentucky-Texas-Florida production model to scale bourbon output and develop unique flavor profiles.

Revenue is generated through one-time wholesale and retail product transactions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The business is privately held, founder-controlled, and self-funded with no institutional investors identified. As of early 2026 the company employs 11-50 people, with named leadership including Founder/CEO Victor Young and GM Jerome Warren.

Revenue model

1. Spirits Product Sales: Dunamis Premium Spirits generates revenue through the sale of its portfolio of award-winning craft spirits (Dunamis Interstellar Bourbon, Aero Squadron Vodka, Bianca Supreme Aged Rum, Zulu Hotel Airman's Gin) through wholesale distribution to retail accounts, on-premise venues, and direct-to-consumer bottle sales at the distillery. Revenue is realized as one-time product transactions at wholesale and retail price points across multiple states.
2. International and Cruise Market Distribution: Expansion into the global cruise market through partnerships with cruise line procurement, as well as export distribution to West Africa and planned launches in Greece, Spain, and Portugal. These markets represent new revenue streams through international wholesale and supply agreements.
3. Aero Squadron Vodka – Folds of Honor Cause Marketing: A portion of proceeds from every Aero Squadron Vodka bottle sold funds Folds of Honor scholarships for families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders. While this is a giving-back mechanism, it also drives consumer purchase motivation and retail velocity, indirectly supporting revenue through brand differentiation and purpose-driven marketing.
