Hewnspirits Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Trying to gauge how far along we need to be with our distillery fit out in order to satisfy the TTB folks. Any insight would be mucho appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Haas Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The TTB says you have to be completely built out, however, you can apply 60 days in advance of your anticipated opening date. In practice, judging by the timeline for licenses granted to other distilleries, I've noticed some apparent wiggle room in this requirement. Having a real good lawyer would probably help greatly with these hairsplitting kind of matters. There is also the matter of state and local permits, and the game of "who's on first." If your state and local authorities will entertain an application earlier in the buildout, I'd suggest getting those permits in order immediately. Having them on hand will be a great help with TTB. I'd also suggest contacting your local TTB investigator and establishing a cordial flow of information sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewnspirits Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks Jedd. We've already received our local zoning approvals (I did that first) and are awaiting out State license. I agree, seems there there is some latitude in the level of completeness that they want. Just wanted to see what other folks might have experienced.
