Creator's Cut was developed for Republic National Distributing Company. Inspired by a Kentucky Straight Bourbon style whiskey,  Blank Collective brought Creator's Cut to market in less than four months using the company's unique technology and efficient process. Upon launch, the spirit has been met with overwhelmingly positive response from the trade - including earning a Silver Medal at the 2020 John Barleycorn Tasting Competition. Other 2020 Silver award winners of the competition include Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky and  Samuel Maverick Straight Bourbon. Awards such as this further confirms the company's ability to deliver great value to business partners. 

Badger Claw was developed for Bill's Distributing in Wisconsin to fill a portfolio void of a high quality and high margin line of well products. Bill's provided input on the branding and flavor profiles across the development of a vodka, gin, and a bourbon-inspired spirit. Blank Collective successfully launched the full Badger Claw lineup in less than 5 months.

"I've been in the business for quite some time and from an innovation standpoint from speed to market, flexibility and profitability, I haven't seen anything like this before. We're incredibly bullish on what we can do with a partner like Blank Collective"

Cory Giertz, Vice President Sales at Bill's Distributing.
