Building a spirits company

I have launched a spirits company and am seeking investors for the next phase to fuel substantial growth.
We have achieved $45k in revenue over the last twelve months through private labeling of aged bourbon and are currently aging additional inventory for two more niche releases in 4 and 8 months respectively, timing depends on aging progress.
I am poised to move into un-aged spirits through some unique offerings and value propositions to the retail customer. We currently sell through online DTC and private label via our distillery partner and will move into traditional distribution in the next phase.
The spirits segment has been substantially challenged in recent years due to over capacity, and in my opinion a lack of understanding what the consumer wants, and is willing to spend money on. This creates an opportunity for sourcing aged spirits and using available distillery capacity, focused on meeting customers through a few different lenses. We are agile and small without the heavy capital burden of equipment or large overhead.
If this fits your investment interest please reach out. I will have direct conversations with those interested to find out if we see a mutual benefit.
To help filter out those who may be on the fence about something like this. This space is full, there are many, probably hundreds of brands and businesses out there trying to do this. We are going to launch products into a crowded market place, a very crowded retail shelf, which is further challenged by the non-alcoholic alternatives and shifting customer behaviors.
Our products already fill an un-met thirst the consumer is looking for, and we are going to deliver even more!
Many thanks for reading!
