What is brown water bourbon exchange?

BWBX is a family business managed and operated by Kentuckians who have a deep affection for and reverence towards the bourbon industry. It’s in our blood, and it’s made our beloved state what it is today. The bourbon and border spirits industry has recently seen a massive “boom” in growth, with craft distilleries, specifically, flooding the market. Our analysis indicates that more people are reaching for craft spirits more than ever before, which means that craft distilleries need to produce their product at a faster rate — but the materials to do so aren’t always readily and quickly accessible.

With new rack houses being built all over the place, distilleries selling more bourbon, and visitors to bourbon country booking their trips months in advance, we feel confident that the "boom" isn't going anywhere any time soon. So, how are distilleries supposed to keep up with the exponentially growing demand for their products? That’s where BWBX comes in.

BWBX isn’t your traditional brokerage. We provide exciting opportunities for investors looking to get a piece of the pie — or, we should say, stave of the barrel — in the increasingly profitable bourbon and broader spirits industry. For distilleries looking to purchase raw distillate and bourbon, BWBX cuts through the red tape and long wait periods that characterize the wholesale buying and selling of spirits today, providing a personal and fast-moving process.
