Frootbat is an award-winnning [1] online marketplace that facilitates the delivery and shipping of premium and luxury liquor, with a focus on bourbon and whiskey, from licensed liquor stores within the United States.[2]
Due to licensing and legislative restrictions, Frootbat operates solely as a marketplace in the United States; however, in Asian and European markets, it functions as a hybrid marketplace with both DTC (Direct to Consumer) and marketplace capabilities.[3] [4]
History and timeline
[edit]Inspired by the bourbon boom in the early to mid 2010's [5], Frootbat's e-commerce website was launched in 2017[6] as an answer to increased demand and shortened supply of allocated whiskey [7], providing a means to democratising access to these products.
Today, Frootbat is one of few marketplaces specializing in the secondary supply of fine, rare, and hard-to-find bourbon and whiskey. [8]
San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024 Gold Medal
[edit]In 2024, Frootbat entered the inaugural single-barrel club category at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Their entry, an Elijah Craig Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey titled 'Raiders of the Lost Oak' was awarded a Gold Medal in its category and received a score of 90/100. [9] [10]
