Confident Distillery Decisions

Built on operational truth

Vapour's operational modules track and digitise what you do, giving you visibility and control of all aspects of production, maturation and bottling across all sites.

Vapour Studio uses this data to model the long-term consequences of decisions about stock, yield, supply and allocation.

This single, strategic source of truth means you can confidently create the most value from the stock and data you already have: supporting your business's growth and resilience.

What is Vapour Studio?
Why Studio Exists
Expectations of what operational data can do have changed.

It's no longer enough for systems to simply record what happened. Today, operational data is expected to work for the business: supporting decisions that span production, maturation, finance, and planning. That requires more than continuity. It requires:

A reliable operational truth, captured as work happens
The ability to see the consequences of decisions before committing
Confidence that experience and judgement are being applied with as much information as possible

This shift requires knowing what's real, and understanding what it means before decisions are locked in.

That's where Vapour Studio comes in.

Three ways to see what's coming

Planning Studio

See your supply and demand over time. Model allocation across markets. Understand what's possible and where constraints live. Build your strategy on visibility, not assumption.

Beneficial For:
Brand Teams
Export Teams
Leadership
Strategic Planning

Sampling Studio

Understand long-term consequences of yield, quality, and production decisions. See how changes at the still echo forward through maturation and release planning. Model what-ifs at the point of decision.

Beneficial For:
Production
Maturation
Quality Assurance
Master Distillers

Blending Studio

Model blend economics and feasibility before committing. Allocate spirits to blends based on future availability and demand. See inventory trade-offs across time.

Beneficial For:
Blending
Brand Teams
Commercial Planning

“Vapour studio gives us the traceability to follow a product all the way through its lifespan, from materials intake to finishing in a cask. Vapour gives us the ability to look at what is happening in our warehouse as we start ageing and we’re starting to see a real picture of how casks in different parts of the warehouse are affected.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Studio is built for people who make long-term decisions about stock, supply and commercial strategy. Here are the questions we hear most.

Studio models directly from the operational data already captured in Vapour’s operational modules. That means every scenario you model is grounded in your real inventory, your real production history, and your real costs. If the data changes in Vapour, it changes in Studio.

No. Studio sits on top of the data your teams are already capturing. If you’re running Vapour’s modules, Studio reads that data automatically. Your team carries on doing what they’re doing.

Studio connects to Vapour Vault, which holds true cost and value profiles on your maturing inventory. That means when you model an allocation or release scenario, the financial impact is calculated from what it actually costs to produce, mature and store, not from estimates or averages. If your finance systems are connected through our API Portal, cost data stays in sync.

Studio doesn’t predict the future, it shows you the consequences of decisions based on what you know today. Every model is built from your operational data, your cost profiles, and constraints you define. Variables like maturation loss rates, supply and demand forecasts, and product portfolio overlaps are visible and adjustable, so you can test different scenarios and understand impact at the touch of a button.

Studio is part of Vapour. It’s not a separate application, a separate database, or a separate integration to manage. It reads from the same operational data as every other Vapour module, through the same API layer. Your IT team retains oversight within one platform rather than managing another tool alongside it.

Studio runs within the Vapour platform, so your data stays in the same environment as your operational modules. Access controls follow the same permissions model as the rest of Vapour - you decide who can view, edit, and model. No data leaves the platform unless you export it.

Your data is help securely in our global data centres, with rigourous backups ensuring your data is always safe.

Yes. Planning Studio lets you map supply against demand across as many markets as you need, simultaneously. You can see where constraints live, test what happens if you commit stock to a new contract, and understand the knock-on effect across every other market, customer, and product in your portfolio.

Studio is most powerful when it’s reading from a full operational dataset. But you don’t need everything in place on day one. We’ll help you work out the right sequence.

If you’re already using Vapour’s operational modules, Studio can be switched on quickly in minutes because the data is already there. The real work is in defining what you want to model: which decisions matter most to your business. We typically run a structured onboarding that starts with your most pressing planning question and builds from there.

Different people care about different things. Operations teams want to see how yield impacts feed forward. Finance teams want to understand how the model works and how assumptions are handled. Brand and commercial teams want to see launch readiness and market allocation. Ideally, bring whoever owns the decision you want to explore. We can structure the demo around what matters to you.
