What is the Eastern Light Distilling’s Opportunity?

Eastern Light Distilling (ELD) is developing a modern, large-scale bourbon distillery and barrel-storage campus in Rowan County, Kentucky.


Unlike traditional distillery investments that tie up capital for years while whiskey ages, ELD operates as a contract producer - selling each barrel immediately upon distillation and earning long-term recurring income by renting climate-controlled storage as those barrels age.


This model is designed to create earlier, more predictable cash flow, while remaining backed by real, tangible assets.

Eastern Light Distilling

Market Overview:

The Business of Bourbon Production

The demand for bourbon continues to grow, while many emerging and mid-sized bourbon brands don't own distilleries due to cost, time, and operational complexity. 


Those brands rely on contract distillers like Eastern Light Distilling to produce bourbon at scale.


At the same time, large spirits companies have been acquiring distilling assets to secure production capacity and improve margins. 

And this has created a clear market for scaled, efficient contract distillers that can produce high-quality bourbon at lower cost and support multiple brands over time.

Why This Deal Is Filling Up Fast

cash flow icon

Early Cash Flow And Return of Capital

Eastern Light’s role as a contract distiller allows the venture to generate distributions for investors very early in its life cycle, currently forecast to commence in 2027. 


Eastern Light is projected to have fully returned invested capital in 2030, exclusively through distributions.

asset icon

Asset-Backed Downside Protection

The facility and underlying real estate have appraised for approximately $3.8M more than the projected development cost. 


Even in a distressed scenario, a liquidation of the constructed plant, property, and equipment would position Eastern Light to recoup the majority, if not all, of invested capital.

tax icon

Tax-Advantaged Structure

Investors will have the opportunity to offset their other tax liabilities due to Eastern Light’s bonus depreciation. 

Eastern Light projects to depreciate $45M in 2026 and ~$20M annually for each of the following 5 years.

A $1M investor is projected to receive a loss allocation for tax purposes of $1.4M in 2026.
