Where Ideas Meet Distillation

Gate Eleven Distillery is not a client.

It's a sister company and foundational partner in the Bantam ecosystem.

Built inside Chattanooga's historic Terminal Station, Gate Eleven combines distillation, hospitality, production expertise, and craftsmanship under one roof. While Gate Eleven focuses on making exceptional spirits, Bantam focuses on shaping the ideas, brands, partnerships, and opportunities that bring those spirits into the world.

Over the years, the two organizations have grown alongside one another. Together, we helped evolve Gate Eleven from a single distillery brand into a growing house of brands with distinct products, audiences, and stories.

The original Craft to Cocktail platform connected the distillery, tasting room, cocktail program, and live music experience into a cohesive destination. As the business evolved, that same foundation created room for brands like Patois Rum, Infâme Absinthe, Salazar Agave Spirits, and Gear Standard Spirits to emerge with identities of their own.

Today, Gate Eleven serves as both production partner and proving ground for many of the ideas developed through Bantam.

Gate Eleven is where spirits are made.

Bantam is where ideas take shape.
