BROS DISTILLING LTD

What BROS DISTILLING LTD does

Bros Distilling Ltd is a UK-based contract distillery headquartered at the World of Wedgwood site in Stoke-on-Trent, operating a B2B white-label spirits business for brands, hospitality operators, and entrepreneurs that want to market their own gin, vodka, rum, or whiskey without owning production assets. The company was founded by brothers Vitalijs and Alex, who originate from Rezekne, Latvia, and the business is built around a stated 100+ year family distilling heritage and recipes. Production is anchored on a single GENIO 500L still housed in a state-of-the-art development suite, with the company positioning itself as a low-minimum-order partner for small-batch launches.

The company makes money through a tiered service model: Entry Level (50-bottle minimum), Business Class (250-bottle minimum), and First Class (500-bottle minimum), with customers progressing across tiers as their volume grows. In addition to contract work, Bros runs its own consumer label, Sixtowns, which was launched in 2020 and has subsequently been extended into whiskey, giving the founders a margin lever and a brand showcase. Inbound demand is generated through a website with a sampling request form, a monthly newsletter, and periodic gift giveaways.

The customer base spans enterprise hospitality (e.g., Fairlawns Hotel & Spa) and startup spirits brands (e.g., Sinners Gin), and the company claims 'hundreds' of successful product launches to date. The business is small (1-10 employees), single-site, and self-funded, with no disclosed rounds of external capital.
