The Complete List of American Whiskey Distilleries & Brands

Last Updated: May 15, 2013

This list is an attempt to catalog all current American whiskey distilleries and brands. The idea is that if you see a bottle of American whiskey on the shelf, you should be able to consult this list and figure out who makes and markets it.

The list has two parts. Part I lists all American whiskey distilleries which are currently producing whiskey, or have plans to produce whiskey in the near future, along with their brands, listed by state. Part II lists independent bottlers of American whiskey; that is, companies that buy whiskey from the distilleries listed in Part I and bottle it under their own labels.

These lists do not include all blended whiskey brands or brands that are for export only, though some are mentioned. It also does not include American bottlers of foreign whiskeys (i.e. American bottling companies that bottle Irish or Canadian whiskeys). It also does not include "spirit whiskey," which is whiskey in name only.

II. INDEPENDENT BOTTLERS

Technically, not all of the companies listed below are bottlers. Some are simply brand owners that contract out bottling to another company. There are often long corporate and contractual trails that an independent Bourbon takes, from distiller to bottler to brand owner/distributor, which makes it hard to identify who produces, bottles and/or owns any given independently bottled whiskey, but I've done my best to identify what I can.


4 Spirits Distillery, Adair Village, OR. This company bottles 4 Spirits Bourbon, which is distilled at LDI in Indiana.

35 Maple Street Spirits (TOG Wines), Sonoma, CA. 35 Maple is the spirits division of The Other Guys (TOG), a Sonoma wine company run by the Sebastiani family. They bottle Masterson's Rye Whiskey, a Canadian rye, and are planning to bottle a Canadian malt and wheat whiskey as well as a bourbon.

Alchemist Beverage Co., Scotland, UK. This indpendent bottler of single malt Scotch and brandy has done at least one bottling of Heaven Hill bourbon.

This Michter's brand has nothing to do with that distillery except that Chatham now owns the name.

Chattanooga Whiskey Co., Chattanooga, TN. This company is marketing an LDI whiskey bottled by Strong Spirits under the label Chattanooga Whiskey 1816 Reserve.

Harper Bourbon label which is now used only for export to Asia, Seagram's 7 Crown blended whiskey and Jeremiah Weed flavored and blended whiskeys.

For years, this distillery made Platte Valley Corn Whiskey at their Missouri plant.

McCormick also markets a Kentucky bourbon and a blended whiskey under the McCormick label and Triple Crown Blended Whiskey.
