  1. Looking for a recommendation for a producer of barrel dump troughs. Prefer 4 barrel, must be stainless. Thanks! Wes whenderson@louisvilledistilling.com
  2. I have never made a recommendation to the group, but in this case, I feel compelled to recommend an incredible design firm. One of their key members, Greta Ackerman, was instrumental in the design of our Angel's Envy packaging. They have an amazing array of capabilities, and can handle the entire project all the way down the line. Their website is: http://ptarmak.com/ Feel free to email me with any questions (whenderson@louisvilledistilling.com). Cheers! Wes
  3. There are two words for the reason there are no distilleries in AL, and they are EMORY FOLMAR....
  4. Net 30 is the norm, and is about as much rope you should give. Some of the control states are longer, we have 60 day terms with PA, for example. WH
  5. The label approval process depends upon if the label is submitted online or with hard copies. Mistakes will be returned as needing correction. I encourage the use of the online COLA. The TTB seems to be pretty slammed right now, so I would prepare for a wait of 60 days, just to be safe, and taking into account corrections for a first time learning curve. Good luck, Wes
  6. Thanks to everyone for their input. I have registered as a warehouse for alcoholic beverages. Did it online and got my number instantly. Best Wishes to All, Wes
  7. Yes, I think that this is more of a DSP requirement, but I am looking into registering as a warehouse or using my bottler's FDA registration number.
  8. Is anyone aware of any requirement to obtain an FDA number for bourbon. I am aware of this for beer, wine and imports, but not for bourbon. I have a CA distributor asking for this number.... Thanks, Wes
  9. This is a DISCUS guideline for responsible advertising. I cannot imagine that anyone involved in the distilled spirits industry would not use an age-gate.
  10. This is a function of the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in your area. The AHJ is usually the Fire Marshal. The TTB will only ask that you are compliant with all local laws and regulations, and ask you to affirm this.
  11. Obtain your Basic Permit as a Wholesaler. Your bottler can then add your licensed company as a DBA, and this DBA name may appear on the label. It will, however, need to have the city and state of the bottler/producer on the label (but not their name). Make sense? wh
  12. Maker's prevailed in this case, in so much as the wax finish been used in commerce to the point that it is readily recognized. Thus, it enjoys the same protection as a trademark, per se. I would look to them to aggressively pursue any infringement of this right in the distiller spirits industry. It is unlikely that wax used on a wine bottle would cause confusion in the marketplace, and would not probably be an infringement. There is my nickel's worth....
  13. Thanks Chuck. I will check out the issue...just arrived today. WH
  14. IMHO, there is more value in the potential story than the recipe. Quite frankly, however, this story has been mined more than once (Clyde May's Conecuh Ridge, Popcorn Sutton, etc), and unless there is something completely off the hook, I don't see much on the marketing end. With the price points for unaged whiskey, be prepared to sell 50,000 or more cases per year (or more) to make any money...and that is pushing it. WH
  15. Looking for plate and frame filter...new or gently used. Will purchase immediately. Please PM or email at whenderson@louisvilledistilling.com. Thanks, Wes Henderson
  16. Great information, and as always, I am appreciative of my ADI friends.
  17. BTW, I love your avatar picture. Saw Jeff Dunham in Louisville a few months ago, and Walter was by far the funniest. wh
  18. Thanks for your input Will. I am working on an additional expression of Angel's Envy, and have come across some barrels I want to use, but will need to do some blending. Both are 4+ year Kentucky Straight Bourbon's from different DSP's, owned by different companies. People are all over the place on this question.... wh
  19. Looking for some guidance on blending of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from more than one DSP... Is this permissable, and still be called KSBW, or must there be some reference to a blend? All of the bourbon is produced in Kentucky. Lincoln seems to think that there is some sort of regulatory hurdle with this, but neither of us can find any prohibition in the regulations, and I am in the camp that thinks you can still call the product KSBW as long as it ALL comes from DSP's located in KY. Would appreciate some help! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Wes
  20. Thanks for everyone's input. In addition to our carton graphics, I have cosen to include the basics (barcodes, carton contents, etc), and I am utilizing some white-space on the side of the carton for stickers we may need to add to comply with various state requirements, sucha s control state listing numbers, etc.... Getting close to launch...exciting times!
  21. Would appreciate guidance on shipper case legal labeling requirements. I am seeing many different variations. Bar coding requirements are not in question, but everything else is open. Help, please....
