Strong Hold & Whiskey Thief Distillery – Modular Drawer Storage Cabinets for Bottling Operations

Overview
Strong Hold, the industry leader in industrial storage and workspace solutions, partnered with Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. in Frankfort, Kentucky, to deliver a high-density, mobile storage solution for their bottling operations. Known for its premium bourbon, Whiskey Thief needed a way to keep essential bottling tools organized, protected, and always within reach, without sacrificing mobility or durability.
Challenge
The final stage of bourbon production, bottling, requires a wide range of specialized tools and accessories. For Whiskey Thief, these include:
- Bung pullers
- Filters and screens for removing charred wood from barrels
- Lab and tasting glasses
- Miscellaneous parts and accessories for the bottling line
Key requirements for the solution included:
- Eight high-capacity drawers for tool and part organization
- Heavy-duty casters for easy movement throughout the facility
- All-steel construction for long-lasting performance in a working distillery environment
Solution
Strong Hold provided its Modular Drawer Storage Cabinet, an all-welded 14-gauge steel unit designed for industrial durability and flexible use. The cabinet was equipped with:
- Eight drawers for high-density storage and organization
- Industrial-grade casters for smooth mobility within the bottling facility
- Heavy-duty construction to withstand daily use and environmental demands
The modular drawer storage cabinet allows Whiskey Thief’s team to position tools exactly where they are needed during bottling, reducing downtime and improving workflow efficiency.
Results
Whiskey Thief immediately saw operational benefits from Strong Hold’s solution:
- Streamlined organization of bottling tools and accessories
- Increased mobility and flexibility in bottling operations

Beyond the bottling floor, Whiskey Thief also uses Strong Hold products throughout its operations, including a 12-gauge clear-view door cabinet in their tasting facility to securely store and display tasting glasses for visitors.
Key Takeaways
This project demonstrates how industrial-grade storage solutions can enhance efficiency even in specialized, small-batch production environments. Strong Hold’s ability to customize configurations and ensure durability made it the clear choice for Whiskey Thief’s unique needs.
