Production tracking · TTB-auditable · Built for craft

Production tracking built for working distilleries.

From mash bill to TTB filing, DistilIQ mirrors how your distillery actually runs — not how a generic ERP thinks it should.

Built around the lifecycle you already run

Every screen maps to something you do on the floor or in the office. No abstractions you have to translate.

Mashbills & sources

Track grain bills and where the distillate came from — your own runs or sourced from MGP, Barton, Wild Turkey, anyone else. Sources are first-class, not buried in a notes field.

Containers

Barrels, tanks, totes. Fill, transfer, finish, sample. Every movement logged with volume so you always know what's in the rickhouse and what's left in each vessel.

Finishes & tastings

Record finish types, finishing windows, and tasting notes against the actual container. Build a profile per barrel that travels with it to bottling.

Bottling

Bottling events draw from calculated barrel volume — not a mutable field someone could fat-finger. Remaining volume and loss are derived, audit-ready.

Label & medallion status

Two independent tracks — because medallion approval and label approval move on different timelines. Both must be done before bottling. Neither overwrites the other.

Sales & shipments

Track shipments by both cases and bottles — for the customer order and the six leftover bottles that go to the gift shop. Edit and delete with audit trail.

Is DistilIQ a fit for your distillery?

We'd rather tell you up front than waste your time on a sales call. Here's the honest line.

Built for

  • Craft distilleries tracking 50 to 5,000 barrels
  • Owner-operator teams who file TTB monthly
  • Sourced-and-finished, single-malt, bourbon, rye — we don't care what's in the barrel
  • Production floor + back office on the same system
  • Distilleries who'd rather have one source of truth than five spreadsheets

Not built for

  • Macro distilleries replacing a full ERP
  • Retail-only or tasting-room-only operations
  • Pre-licensing planning — you need a DSP first
  • Teams looking for a generic inventory tool
  • Anyone who doesn't care about TTB auditability

How it shows up in the workday

Three roles, three different needs. The same data underneath.

Fast data entry, fewest taps

Forms ordered by what gets entered most often. Source picker remembers what you used yesterday. Volume math happens in the background — you log the event, the system does the arithmetic.

Owner visibility without micromanagement

See production status across the rickhouse, label/medallion status across pending bottlings, and a clean audit trail of who changed what. No more "go ask the floor."

TTB reporting that ties out

Calculated volumes — not stored ones — mean the numbers always reconcile. Loss is derived from real events, not a manual entry someone forgot to update.

Built on a working floor

Shaped by a real Kentucky distillery.

DistilIQ wasn't designed in a vacuum. Every screen, every flow, every field was built against the day-to-day operations of an active production team — with feedback from the people actually filling barrels, scheduling bottling, and filing TTB reports.

That's why it doesn't feel like a generic inventory tool with the word "barrel" pasted on top.

Pricing

DistilIQ is sold per-distillery as a managed SaaS. Pricing scales with the size of your operation, not per-seat — everyone on your team gets access. We'll quote you on a short call once we understand your barrel count and workflow.

See it on your own data.

Tell us a little about your distillery and we'll set up a walk-through against a sandbox tenant that mirrors your operation. No deck. We'll just open the app.
