American Distillers Institute interviews Scott Schiller

July 10, 2025

In this powerful Sponsor Spotlight, Scott Schiller, Executive Director of Thoroughbred Spirits Group, shares the deeply personal and entrepreneurial journey that led him from a 5th-generation distilling legacy to founding one of the industry’s most respected spirits consulting firms. Scott opens up about lessons learned from his grandfather, the challenges of balancing artistry with business, and why “the best-tasting isn’t always the best-selling.” His story is one of purpose, passion, and practicality—infused with real experience from launching distilleries, building enterprise value, and guiding startups and legacy brands alike.
