Hey all I run a distillery and we have a partner RTD company (ownership involved in both companies) that is reformulating one of their RTDs and its label. The new label will include a section saying “made with distillery’s rum”. The rum that’s going to be used is going to be sourced in bulk to the distillery before it’s transferred to the co-packer for packaging. Do we need to do anything to the bulk spirit so that it can be called “distillery’s rum”? How about shipping directly to co-packer from supplier could we still call it "Distillery's rum"? Cheers!

Happy Tuesday Everyone I am looking into importing bulk spirits from Amsterdam to the US as part of a few new products we're developing, and I'm hoping for some suggestions from the hive mind. From what I understand, We need to apply for an importing permit as part of our DSP license Find a customs broker Correctly report our imports on our state and federal reports Correct me if I'm wrong, but I should be able to apply for the importing permit on Permits Online. I have a few referrals for customs brokers, but suggestions are always welcome! When it comes time to report imports to the feds, do we have to file additional reports on top of our normal production, storage, processing, and excise tax reports? Cheers!

Happy Wednesday Everyone I'm looking to source some metallic gold bottle enclosures (T Cork style) with a synthetic cork. The bottles have a 18.5mm opening, so if I'm looking for a 19.5mm cork. I have a few feelers out, but any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers!

Hey Everyone My regular supplier of Panela is out of stock and I'm looking for another source. Looking for full pallet quantities shipped to South Florida. Preferably granulated. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers!

Hey everyone I had something weird happen recently with some bottles of vodka we produce. A few friends have put some bottles of our vodka in their freezers and had some ice balls form in the bottle. I’m quite certain I’m hitting 40% abv in the bottle and not dipping below it. Hitting 40-40.4% abv with density meter. 40% with hydrometer and temp correction. Volumes/weight of bulk tanks and number of bottles packaged are extremely close to bottling run calculations through out software. Any thoughts or ideas? Could it be separating in the bottle?

Hey all We are using a wheat GNS base for our vodka and gin and we are facing a price increase on future totes of GNS. We are currently paying $10.95 per proof gallon delivered and future totes are going to cost us $12.55 per proof gallon delivered. Any suggestions on sources for wheat gns? Cheers!
