ISCO prides itself on aligning its sourcing with its ideology of sustainability—the base for their products begins with 100% organic corn from their regional farm partner, directly supporting the use of regenerative agricultural practices. The company operates on small batch production, doing approximately 500 gallons per day compared to large producers doing 40,000 gallons daily.
Cyborg Score Rationale
ISCO demonstrates strong brand positioning as a craft distillery with premium organic products and sustainability focus in a growing spirits market. However, as a private, small-batch producer with production consistency challenges noted in reviews and limited scale compared to competitors, growth remains constrained.
