What is Project Foundry?
Project Foundry is our take on community—built around collaboration, creativity, and shared passion. We’re taking our core strength—product development—and opening the door for you to help shape what comes next. Together, we’ll design a new product and offer a fresh perspective on the spirits world that few ever see. But that’s just the beginning. Think of it as your backstage pass to Aged & Ore—complete with behind-the-scenes access, exclusive perks like free shipping, and limited-edition products available only to Project Foundry members.
What's Included?
Project Foundry offers two membership tiers: Basic and Creator. The Creator tier provides full access to the entire experience, including hands-on involvement in the design of a new product, along with a suite of exclusive benefits. The Basic tier includes most of the core perks, excluding direct participation in the co-creation of a new product, and the Prototype 01 glass. See the comparison table below for a detailed breakdown of benefits.

A glimpse inside
The community platform
This is the central hub for all things Project Foundry. What you see here is just a glimpse. On the platform you'll find curated spaces that highlight unique facets of the brand we want to show more about, just like the examples above showcasing fun and unique things around our warehouse! These are the areas where we'll continue to share content and spark conversations with you.
The Glass That Almost Was
In 2019, we set out to design the perfect whiskey glass—what became the Neat Glass. But before that, there was Prototype 01: our first concept we loved, but never released. Now, for a limited time, you can own this rare piece of our design journey—a glimpse into what could have been and learn why we never released this product.
Limited Edition Products
Step inside the Speakeasy Shop—your gateway to exclusive, members-only releases. From limited-edition drops to custom creations like this custom green Bottle Flight, this space is constantly evolving with fresh finds reserved just for Project Foundry members.

The community is a custom-built platform based on an existing service, tailored with dedicated spaces and threads for our needs. Think of it as a private social network and blog exclusively for Project Foundry members.
Unfortunately, no. While we’d love to, it’s impossible to price the final product before we know what we’re making. You will however have an opportunity to purchase one with a significant discount.
That said, the Creator tier does include the Prototype 01 glass at no extra cost so you will get a new glass right away!
Most perks—including free shipping—kick in as soon as you sign up. The glass design program also starts right away with a short discovery phase, where we get to know you and gather insights on the type of glassware we should create. After a couple of weeks, we’ll move into the hands-on design stage.
Anyone can join the community, however the free shipping and Prototype Glassware product is only available to locations shipping in the USA.
Please don’t share anything that you are not comfortable with having us or anyone in the community use or make. Full terms and conditions are available during sign up.
