Distillery Design

Technical knowledge and years of experience in distillery design are provided to our clients in the beverage alcohol distillation industry. From batch distillation in craft distilleries to continuous processes in larger distilleries, VITOK Engineers has completed well over 450 projects in this industry. We have designed many new distilleries and completed expansions in the United States and in the Caribbean.

VITOK Engineers can design or optimize every element of the beverage distillation process, from the receipt of raw materials to the proofing and bottling. VITOK can design the process, specify the equipment, design the building, define classified areas, specify and design instrumentation and controls, and program the controllers (even tablets). We can also help you with the intricacies of environmental permitting.

A few of our Distillery Projects include:

• Wild Turkey Distillery (Lawerenceburg, KY) – Designed the distilling process, Buildings, MEP, and managed construction of a new distillery complex for Campari. This included the design of separate buildings and processes for Fermentation/Distillation/Offices (Main Building), Boiler House, and Dry House. Read More Here

• Firestone & Robertson – Designed a new greenfield distillery complex on a golf course in Ft. Worth, TX.

…and many more.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of distilleries that VITOK has either designed, expanded, modernized, or restored after being shuttered for many decades.

The list is still growing!

Please note that some of our large distillery clients have confidentiality agreements in place, so we can’t say who they are.
