A Working Distillery with Real Momentum

Gate Eleven Distillery is a seven-year-old, operating distillery located inside the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo, built as a true house of brands designed for how people actually drink.

Unlike many craft distilleries focused on a single category, Gate Eleven has developed a diversified portfolio across gin, vodka, rum, agave spirits, absinthe, and whiskey — allowing the business to generate revenue today while continuing to build long-term asset value. This portfolio approach, combined with a hospitality-first strategy, has enabled the company to establish strong placements across bars, restaurants, and retail accounts throughout Tennessee and the Southeast.

The business is anchored by a tourable, revenue-generating distillery, bar, and retail operation, creating consistent cash flow while also serving as a direct-to-consumer brand engine. This physical presence, combined with growing distribution, provides multiple pathways for both revenue and brand expansion.

Gate Eleven has demonstrated real market traction, achieving 18% distribution growth in 2025, at a time when the broader spirits industry declined approximately 15%. This performance reflects disciplined execution, repeat account adoption, and a portfolio built to perform across both premium and volume-driven environments.

The company is now positioned to scale through expanded distribution, deeper hospitality partnerships, and continued development of its house-of-brands strategy — while maintaining a focus on operational discipline and capital efficiency.

This raise provides investors the opportunity to participate in a working spirits business with proven demand, diversified revenue streams, and a structure designed for long-term growth and optionality.
