Palmetto Coast Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ok, looking here http://www.ttb.gov/industry_circulars/archives/2002/ic2002preimdsp6-27-02.pdf I see that tequila does not require formula approval (MEXICO only, as stated). So if I were looking to do a "agave spirit" I am guessing that would require a formula and be considered a "specialty distilled spirit". Is this the case? Anyone out there doing this care to comment? Thanks, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Todd We make two Agave Spirits here. First you need formula approval, then it took the ttb 4 submissions before the realized we were not importing but making a domestic spirit. Then another 4 submissions to them and the last one required the words tequila on the front label which I knew was wrong, then I had to remove the word tequila from the label back to my original submission. Then the sent me a notice it was put on hold for research for two weeks before finely approving it. Lots of work. coop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
