The Jacksontucky Distillery
Jacksonville Beach's First & Only Licensed Whisky Distillery | Turn-Key | Debt-Free | Award-Winning
Marketing description
The Jacksontucky Distillery is Jacksonville Beach's first and only licensed whisky distillery: a fully operational, debt-free, turn-key business with over a decade of production history and a portfolio of award-winning spirits.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Established in 2014, The Jacksontucky has built a recognized brand in Florida's craft spirits market, earning Gold and Double Gold awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The largest and most prestigious spirits competition in the world. The business is positioned for a seamless ownership transition, with the seller available for up to 6 months of operational support.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a rare chance to acquire a licensed distillery asset in a market where permitting for new competitors is extremely difficult to obtain. The business currently produces 60+ gallons of spirits daily, available for immediate bottling and sale or barrel aging. Over 30 barrels of maturing spirits are currently selling wholesale to regional distributor Champion Brands at $10,000–$30,000 per barrel depending on brand.
KEY ASSETS INCLUDED
- Two 100% copper pot stills: 600-gallon and 200-gallon, electrically powered with safety controllers
- On-site artesian well tapping directly into the Florida aquifer for premium water sourcing
- Three 1,100-gallon open fermenters
- 1,000-gallon mash tun
- 60-gallon copper pot spirit still
- Instant hot water system
- All brand trademarks included
- Tasting room, bar, and social event space
- Located steps from the beach, adjacent to multiple micro-breweries and restaurants
LICENSING
Two active licenses: one at the Jacksonville Beach location for distillation, and one at a separate farm location for barrel aging and potential future expansion. This dual-license structure is a significant barrier to entry for any competitor.
LEASE
20-year lease at exceptionally low rent, with right of first refusal on the underlying real estate. Lease transfer subject to landlord approval.
DEAL STRUCTURE
Seller is open to creative deal structures including outright acquisition, merger, licensing agreements, or equity partnerships. Ideal acquirer is an established operator in beverages, hospitality, or an entrepreneur with a proven track record.
PRICE
