MaskCraft Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wow - congratulations and that is very encouraging! Our reviewer sounds like the one described above (initial J, female) that a lot of folks are having trouble with which is concerning. BUT, she has been easy to reach and very responsive whenever I have called her. She is on vacation right now and on Tuesday I will call her as we sent her a revised drawing with a POB of JUST the bonded area as she requested. I think that was the last bit of info she needed from us. We are at day 42. What can we expect from here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Has anyone submitted an amendment to their approved permit, and if so did it also take months to be approved ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskCraft Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just heard from our reviewer and she has sent our application forward for approval (day 47) and said if we don't get notice of approval in two weeks to contact her. Any idea how long this last step usually takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountySeat Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 July 23 to Oct. 14. 84 days. Took a little over 60 days to hear from our specialist (who was wonderful). Only took a day or two to get through that step. We were stuck on "Recommend Final Disposition" for a few weeks just due to backlog then had to correct one final piece of paper to satisfy a Supervisor. All in all, I thought the TTB was very easy to deal with. We spent a few weeks preparing the forms and submitted them ourselves, we did not use a consultant to submit the paperwork or assist us.

MaskCraft Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 68 days!!! Submitted August 23rd. Only problem now is that I cannot find our DSP approval online nor our DSP number. We received instructions to go to supporting documents to find it, but all we see are the documents WE uploaded with our application. Any ideas on where to find our approved documents? Thank you, Amy Durango Craft Spirits PS - Turns out the email in our log-in didn't match our contact number causing a disconnect!! If your email changes be sure to change in in the log-in information too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaalvenn Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Congrats! I'm glad to see some short days being posted recently. Question for those who have been in the sub-100 approvals. Is your operation relatively simple with few if no investors and an uncomplicated layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy's Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 We just got ours today!! August 24 to October 30, 67 days. We had about a day of back and forth with our TTB specialist correcting some minor things. Overall, I'm pretty happy considering we prepared the documents ourselves. MaskCraft, our approval documents are shown in the "Supporting Documents and Attachments Section". It looks like the TTB added 4 new documents today. Skaalvenn, our operation is pretty simple. We have no investors and a pretty simple layout. All 1 building, 1 floor....bonded premise, tax paid retail area, and 4 general premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountySeat Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ours was pretty simple as well. Simple financial structure and very small simple layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkatrincic_NC Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Exciting news all! We submitted Oct 7. Assigned to specialist as of Oct 27. We're hopeful that things will be pretty straightforward for us too. Jim McCoy reviewed our application prior to submission and had a couple corrections/recommendations. He was fantastic to work with and fingers crossed, it'll be helpful to the TTB as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskCraft Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 We have a group of about 15 investors, but only 3 of us had to submit financials, etc. Others are small investors. We are going grain to glass in our building. We only had to re-submit the directions of our bonded area and our reviewer was a little confused on what she really needed (we have an exterior boiler building) and communication was sketchy for a couple of days. I had to call a couple of times to check because it took 3 weeks to get final approval after our review submitted for approval and on day 68 - yesterday - we got our approval! Good luck to everyone playing the waiting game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rado Distilling Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 We just got our DSP we submitted on October 17th and were sent for approval on December 11th. So 87 days for approval. We only had a couple of clarifications about our ownership structure since we complicated it by financing with our 401K but overall we had less then a week of corrections in there.

InsuranceMan Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Folks, Just wanted to throw out a quick update as well. As you know, I work with distilleries all over the country on their insurance and bonding and I keep a pretty close eye on how long the process takes. I have had several in the last week who have been issued their DSP approval in the 55 to 65 day range! Is it possible the TTB is getting faster????? It appears so! Congrats to all of my clients who received their DSP in the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrounge Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just got mine today as well! App was accepted on Dec 3, and approved Jan 8. What is that 36 days? I'm to excited to count!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaw!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsuranceMan Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Scrounge- I guess I will add you to my list of clients that smoked the timeframe. I will say that out of all of them so far you take the prize for fastest. I'm happy for you man. Very exciting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrounge Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks Aaron , i cant take any credit for how fast it went, but if anyone needs an affordable consultant to make the process go smooth, the guy I used did a great job. The TTB specialist assigned my app sent me one e-mail, to say that I did an "OUTSTANDING" job and that she recommended it for approval. She even wrote it just like that. So if anyone needs a guy,hollar at me! Woulda been even faster without the holidays too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 67 days. But the holidays held us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Newton Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 New kids on the block - The Baltimore Whiskey Company. Permit DSP-MD-20010. Date submitted: 12/8/2014 Date Approved: 2/17/2015 Total time elapsed: 71 days. A tilt of the glass, a touch of the cap, a bow at the waist, and even a kissing of the boots of David Dunbar for his help with our app and our bond. After the ardor of the approval process noted in this forum was noted, I will say that we spent more than a little bit of time and effort on the application. Thanks, ADI Forum Participants, for publicizing so many issues. Cheers, Hon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
