Who we are
From early planning conversations to large-format bulk operations, we offer access to a network that reaches nearly every corner of the spirits industry.
Our relationships in bourbon and beverage alcohol are deep-rooted and built on trust. They run from distilleries and cooperages to grain producers and bottling vendors. Knowing the right sources, and the right timing, is what lets us act effectively for the people we work with.
That instinct has led to valuable propositions and many successful transactions for our partners, buyers and private clients. Whether you are an investor, an experienced distiller or a non-distilling producer, we are equipped to support the venture, and we tailor the work to it.
The OSDC model
We call the model open source because it is built to be flexible. We bring the right people, partners and knowledge to each engagement instead of forcing every client through the same process. The work falls into three moves:
- Connect. Bring together the right people, partners and market knowledge to identify opportunities.
- Optimize. Assess sourcing, operations and commercial choices to improve cost, continuity and focus.
- Activate. Translate strategy into negotiations, market-entry plans and practical next steps.
Experience and reach
The OSDC team brings more than 100 years of collective, direct industry experience, combining supply-side and demand-side perspective across adjacent, highly connected sectors.
Sectors: beverage alcohol, food and beverage, cannabis, real estate and hospitality.
Reach: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and Latin America.
The team
A connected, cross-functional team that covers commercial strategy, marketing, procurement, logistics and operations.
Why work with us
Kentucky based. Being in the heart of bourbon country is a strategic advantage. We are in the industry every day, which gives us firsthand knowledge of barrels, mash bills, grains and producers before they reach the open market.
Network access. We have built personal relationships with distilleries, cooperages and grain vendors over decades. Those connections open opportunities that are often unavailable to the general market.
We meet you where you are. A first investment, a new venture or a large-scale program each need a different level of support. We scale the work to your experience so you feel confident in every decision.
A custom approach. We do more than broker deals. Every connection, introduction and detail is handled with care, discretion and precision to the needs of the project.
Quality, nothing else. We are selective because you should be. Every material we source is held to the highest industry standards.
If that sounds like the partner you need, start a conversation and tell us what you are working on.
