Your well spirits program determines profitability more than any other bar investment. Get it wrong, and you're hemorrhaging money on every cocktail. Get it right, and these workhorses become the foundation of a thriving operation that customers return to again and again.
Consistency trumps everything. Your well spirits need to perform identically every time—in taste, proof, and mixing characteristics. Customers might not notice when you nail it, but they'll definitely notice when you don't.
Mixing performance matters more than sipping quality. Well spirits live in cocktails, not neat pours. They need clean profiles that enhance rather than compete with mixers, garnishes, and other ingredients.
Price stability protects your margins. Wells that spike in price without warning destroy cocktail profitability. Smart operators choose spirits with reliable pricing structures.
Archwell spirits are specifically crafted for high-volume cocktail service. Made by Paradigm Spirits Co., our vodka, gin, and whisky deliver the consistency and performance your operation demands.
Technical specs designed for bars:
• Vodka: 100% Canadian corn, 100% copper distillation, zero off-flavors
• Gin: Juniper-forward botanical blend, 40% ABV for perfect dilution
• Whisky: Corn-rye blend, bourbon alternative, consistent availability
Predictable pricing: No allocation games, no sudden price spikes, no tariff surprises. Canadian production means stable supply chains and predictable costs.
Better margins: Quality well spirits that compete with premium brands on performance but maintain well-spirit economics. Your customers get better cocktails; you get better profits.
Start with your highest-volume cocktails: Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Gin & Tonic. These three drinks can represent 40% of your spirit sales—nail these with quality wells, and you're already ahead.
Train staff on the difference: Premium wells perform better in cocktails than many shelf spirits. Your bartenders should understand why these spirits work, not just how to pour them.
Menu positioning: Don't hide quality wells. Feature them in signature cocktails where customers can taste the difference between good and great.
Well spirits aren't just about saving money—they're about making money consistently. Quality wells like Archwell deliver the reliability, performance, and profitability that turn good bars into great ones.
