Tito’s and Jose Cuervo owners are now spirits billionaires.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jose Cuervo and Tito’s Handmade Vodka have now joined the ranks of the wealthiest spirits owners/heads in the industry.  As the spirits industry grows, so too do the number of wealthy entrepreneurs cashing in on this red hot industry.

Jose Cuervo Billion Dollar Brand

In fact, Juan Francisco Beckmann Vidal who is the chairman of Jose Cuervo is currently the wealthiest billionaire whose primary business is liquor. Juan owns a 70% stake in Jose Cuervo and has a net worth of $4.3 billion according to Forbes.

This company has been owned by the same family for 11 generations, having gone public in 2017, raising $900 million.  This goes to show that though you often hear of celebrity names cashing in on the spirits business, it does not take an A lister behind the brand to create massive wealth and success.  You can see which of your favorite musicians and celebrities are involved in their own spirits brands here:  List of Celebrity Spirits Brands.

Tito’s Billion Dollar Brand

Tito’s is another name that the world is all of a sudden very familiar with.  Bert ‘Tito’ Beveridge built his brand, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, from the ground up, and has a net worth of $4 billion.

There has been quite a bit of controversy over his marketing the brand as “handmade” given the logistics of how he actually has the product produced, but he seems to have overcome that hurdle with his widespread success.

According to Forbes, the brand sold 63 million bottles in 2017.

There is a long list of billionaire tiered entrepreneurs that are all making their fortunes in the spirits industry, and there is room for more.

Introducing Gold Drop Vodka

/1 Comment/in /by

Introducing Gold Drop Vodka, the latest artisan vodka brand to be created & launched by Premier Innovations Group Inc. to distinguish itself from the crowd in a market all too saturated with “more of the same”.  In a world where the mainstream vodka drinker is finding it harder to find truly high quality vodka for a price that won’t make it hard to swallow, Gold Drop is a sip of relief.

Making its public debut throughout Pennsylvania Fine Wine And Good Spirits stores in November of 2018, Gold Drop was chosen to be featured in the highly coveted Chairman’s Select program, where only a handful of products are personally chosen by discerning and trusted palates at the PLCB.  And the brand did not disappoint.  The public quickly identified the brand as a choice of luxury at a value price.  Top tier award winning concept, packaging & design that you can’t help but pick up and admire (conceptualized & designed by Premier Vice President, Frank Bachurski), with a taste profile that even the most discerning of vodka snobs can not dispute (formulated & produced by CEO, Noah Cohen).  Sales numbers are not yet conclusive but it is rumored that Gold Drop Vodka will sell over 75,000 bottles in a matter of 3 months, which is unheard of for a newly launched vodka brand.

Gold Drop Vodka

What exactly is the Gold Drop?  The definition dates back 3 generations of Master Distillers at our world renown vodka distillery, tucked away in the landscape of the European vodka belt.
For over 180 years the secret of the Gold Drop has been kept amongst the family as a term used to describe the first truly pure drop of product that is tasted and approved from each hand crafted batch of product. Once the vodka goes through the entire process and has finally reached the epitome of purity, our
Master Distiller has one last taste before it is approved, and that taste is the Gold Drop. It was only fitting that we saved only the top tier of our production to be bottled as the Gold Drop brand.

– Gold Drop Master Distiller

The Original Gold Drop Distillery Team

Expert Notes from Chairman’s Spirits® program in Pennsylvania.

Quoted at $30.00, Now Available for $11.99 release, with a savings of $18.01.

“Produced from the finest wheat and rye grains through triple column apparatus distillation for extreme purity. Creamy, with a hint of white coconut and an inkling of pepper. Smooth viscosity and creamy richness. Full Russian vodka flavor with no bite or harsh aftertaste. Clean and clear.”

—Distiller’s notes

“A pure expression of why imported vodka stands above the rest. Coconut, anise and sweet cream flavors warm the palate; smooth with a touch of peppery spice on the finish. Excellent on the rocks — outstanding value!”

—Steve Pollack, buyer for the Chairman’s Spirits® program

Amazon Launches Its First Private Label Whiskey

Amazon Launches Bowmore Whiskey

Amazon Launches Bowmore Whiskey

Not only does Amazon now deliver wine and spirits right to your door, but now they have taken it a step further.  Yes Amazon has now too released their very own brand in the whiskey category, following the slue of celebrities and mainstream companies jumping on the ever so lucrative liquor train.

Behold the first exclusive bottling of a single-malt scotch by Bowmore & Amazon.  This limited-edition product was apparently matured in French oak barrels and is bottled at 48.9% ABV.  Given Amazon’s reputation for success, this is obviously a must try.

The bottle is said to feature aromas of candied apple, honey and light peat smoke, with a palate of “rich toffee, wild honey and exotic spices.”  It is available for $153/bottle.

You can see where Amazon is headed with this release, and I think we can foresee a bright future in wine & spirits for this worldwide retail giant.

As of right now this limited release will only be available in the U.K., Germany, Spain, Italy, France and Japan.  But if their track record is any indicator of growth and expansion, we will all be seeing this brand on local store shelves soon I am sure.

Cosmopolitan Diva Sparkling Wine Flavors Launch In US

/2 Comments/in , /by

Premier Innovations Group will now be launching all four flavors of Cosmopolitan Diva Sparkling Wine in select cities throughout the United States.  This comes following tremendous growth in brand awareness and a quickly spreading demand for product.

Premier Innovations Group was first introduced to the Cosmopolitan Diva Sparkling Wine brand in 2016. Immediately upon reviewing and tasting the product our team knew that there was a distinct opportunity and placement for the brand in the current US market. The packaging was a perfect fit to attract multiple demographics, including but not limited to the following: Females age 21-65. Session beverage drinkers. Nightlife and socialite demographic. Service industry members and more. In addition to the packaging being a lightning rod for attention in the market, the taste profile was mild & fruity, making it very easy to consume, and the abv was low proof which makes it a repeat volume seller.

Premier presented the brand to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board in 2016 with Cosmopolitan Diva having no prior track record or sales anywhere else in the US. The state of PA loved all aspects of the product, from imagery, to taste, to price point.

In 2017 Premier got Cosmopolitan Diva approved for a 3,000 case initial order. The order was scheduled for a February-March 2017 delivery. This is a significant first order for new brands in the state of PA which showed the company’s confidence in the brand. This order was for just the original pink bottle version of the product (as shown below).

The product was distributed to 237 of the 600 existing PA wine & spirits stores which is also a high rate of distribution for a new product.

Much to everyone’s delight, Cosmopolitan Diva sold an astonishing 3,000 cases in less then 4 months with a sell through rate of 1,000 cases per month. What is even more impressive is that this was done with no marketing budget whatsoever. Much of the products success was attributed directly to the look of the brand, taste of the brand, and strategic floor placement in the off premise stores it was distributed to.

Premier received an enormous spike in social media inquiries and requests for the product from consumers in PA and with some support, the product was completely sold out by late June/early July.

With this successful case study under our belt, Premier re-approached the state of PA for another purchase in late June and received another 3,000 case order for delivery of the custom limited edition white holiday bottles (as shown below). We delivered the order and the inventory hit shelves in November of 2017.

This SKU sold out again at an astounding rate, even with the hundreds of holiday wine competitor products surrounding it. In fact, in some of the largest individual store locations it was top selling sparkling wine in the whole store, again with no marketing budget behind it at this time. The product was completely sold out by early February of 2018 and sold over 2,000 cases in December 2017 alone.

Most recently, Premier approached the state of PA in February 2018 to secure an order of both the original Cosmo Diva bottle, as well as all of the flavors. We received an order for August 2018 delivery for all available stores. We expect to sell out in two months max.

Premier will now have the Cosmopolitan Diva brand on regular order in the state of PA after the sell through of 9,000 12 bottle cases in one state.

We personally have never seen a product sell this fast with this type of repeat customer generating such immediate brand loyalty. We couldn’t be happier with the results and we could not be more proud to represent the growing Cosmopolitan Diva brand throughout the United States as the exclusive importer of the brand. As we enter more and more markets we expect these results to build and continue.

Stateside Urbancraft Vodka – Federal Distilling

Stateside Urbancraft Vodka – Federal Distilling

As a growing company in the wine & spirits industry we find it necessary to keep an eye out for up and coming brands that are making waves in their category.  Craft spirits are growing at a tremendous rate and some of the most interesting products I’ve personally come across have been from small batch, artisan distilleries that are very passionate about what they do.  So when I started hearing more and more about Stateside Vodka out of Philadelphia, PA it was only right that I check it out for myself.  After all, Premier is based in PA as well so of course it helps to know your neighbors and support local.  As it turns out, Stateside Vodka is also expanding and opening a tasting room in Pittsburgh, right in the heart of Lawrenceville.  I stopped down to pick up a couple of bottles and from the looks of things I am sure they are going to quickly become a new Pittsburgh favorite in no time.

Here are some product details that I’m sure Stateside Vodka would want you to know:

The product is labeled as 100% gluten free and made from a non gmo corn that they source from Indiana.  They use a chilling system to chill the vodka before they push it through a carbon filter as well.  On top of that, they actually pump medical grade oxygen into the stills that increase production time.  Very hands on and intricate process.

Two brothers started the company about 5 1/2 years ago in their parents basement. Years later they now have a 7,000 sq foot distillery in the Kensington area of Philadelphia, PA.

Pittsburgh is their next hub, with the new tasting room opening next week, which they will have open on the weekends to sell bottles of product, shot, etc.

For more information on Stateside Vodka and their locations, stop by their website and get to know this brand a little better.  I doubt it will be the last time you hear their name.  www.StatesideVodka.com

Is The Gin Foundry On Its Way To Becoming The Best Gin In The World?

/0 Comments/in /by

Gin drinkers and industry professionals are quickly becoming familiar with the name Gin Foundry as the brand continues to impress everyone that has the honor of experiencing it.  And of course when the product most recently arrived at the Los Angeles Spirits Competition, the wins continued with a Silver Medal in taste and a Gold Medal for design/packaging.

These most recent accolades bring The Gin Foundry to the cream of the crop, making it the most award winning brand included in the Premier Wine & Spirits portfolio.  Premier is proud to have taken such a significant role in the production of this final product for Chris McClain of Bon Vivant Brands.  Not only did the Premier team have a hand in the formulation details of the gin itself by utilizing their Swiss Alps facility to blend & bottle the gin, but is also responsible for taking the design concept that was presented for the brand and making it a reality via their production facility.  Taking the visuals presented for The Gin Foundry bottle/label and creating this one of a kind product with a custom molded embossed glass bottle from Premier’s exclusive glass production & decoration facility, laser engraved branded cork and rich embossed label on ultra premium thick print stock with multi level print is something that Premier has taken great pride in specializing in.  The quality of the final experience truly is undeniable.

So just to help you keep track, that’s 9 awards for taste and two awards for design/packaging.  Here is a breakdown below:

TASTE:

World Gin Awards: Gold
Tastings.com: Silver 89 Points
SFWSC: Silver
NYISC: Silver
LA Spirits Comp: Silver
Sip Awards: Silver
ADI: Bronze
ACS: Bronze
NYWWSC: Bronze

Design/Packaging:

LA Spirits Comp: Gold
Creative Quarterly: Gold

The brand has literally won an award in every single competition and convention it has entered.  And the celebrations will continue as the brand plans to enter all of the most highly recognized competitions worldwide in hopes to spread the word that The Gin Foundry is raising the bar in the gin community.

More information on The Gin Foundry brand:

The Gin Foundry Europa contains 10 carefully selected botanicals sourced from along the Mediterranean Trade Routes (Ingredients: Juniper: Macedonia, Coriander: Bulgaria, Angelica Root: Belgium, Orris Root: Morocco, Fennel Seeds: Turkey, Bitter Almond: Spain, Orange Peel: Spain, Lemon Peel: Spain, Basil: Egypt, Grapefruit: Turkey). The botanicals are steeped in pure grain spirit overnight and then expertly distilled in a traditional copper pot still in the United Kingdom. Before bottling we blend our spirit with pure Mountain Spring Water in Switzerland.

Pop’s Whiskey Announcement

/4 Comments/in , /by

A whiskey story…  We at Premier Wine & Spirits recently secured a new client based in Philadelphia who contracted us to create his whiskey brand from scratch. Our company has been doing more and more brand building and sourcing for products within our industry and this is one of 4 brand builds Premier has done in the past two months alone.

This project was unique in the fact that our client had a very specific story he wanted to tell through the packaging and taste of the product. Jason (the brand owner) wanted to create an Irish whiskey that shared the story of his ancestors’ immigration from Ireland to the United States. He wanted this conveyed in not only the formulation but in the label design as well. So Jason and our CEO, Noah traveled to Ireland to visit one of the oldest and most acclaimed whiskey distilleries in the world, where they formulated the perfect blend to use for this project.  This distillery has created countless award winning formulas and it is a true honor to work with them.  The whiskey will originate in Ireland and be shipped to the US, where it will be aged in American bourbon barrels for the finishing touch. Just as his ancestors originated in Ireland and traveled to the US for opportunity, where their roots took hold to build a better life. So when I started to conceptualize the design, it needed to be just as customized to the story as the whiskey itself. Jason wanted to pay homage to his great grandfather Pop’s McCann by naming the brand after him, as well as featuring his likeness on the bottle itself.

Pop’s McCann

So with the name Pop’s Whiskey in mind, and a vintage photo of great grandfather McCann himself, the creative process begins.

We wanted a thick, weathered paper for the label to represent the “traveled” nature of the brand. I pulled together a list of elements that rang true to the story being told. An imprinted image of the historic coffin ships that Jason’s ancestors sailed on from Ireland to the US.

The fleur de lis in the background to represent their arrival to the southern NOLA port. Laser etched Gaelic Irish crosses representing their true Irish ancestry and “Jeff Cap” debossed on the top of the cap accompanied by the saying, “It’s Where I Hang My Hat”.

Jason could not have been more excited with the final product and we could not be more proud to tell his story by creating a brand that truly encompasses the past, present and future of his personal journey. Pop’s Irish Whiskey has become more than a product, but a true embodiment of one family’s voyage, conveyed through a whiskey story.

As the brand build comes to completion, Jason has informed us that he is so pleased with the process that he has invited our company Premier Wine & Spirits to become an equity partner in the brand. Which brings me to announce that Premier will now be part owner as well as representing Pop’s Irish Whiskey worldwide. The product is being launched in Pennsylvania as we speak, and we strongly recommend you pick a bottle up for yourself and give it a try. It is a truly unique brand with an equally remarkable story, as you now know.

On the road.

We are also currently in the process of 3 more brand builds for clients from all areas of the globe, and with such a focus on building brands for others, we will keep you in the loop on all the big announcements and product launches to come!  With our new partnerships and facility capabilities we have become a true one stop shop for any and all needs in the wine & spirits industry.  With everything that is going on it is hard to keep everyone up to date on things, but you can read all about our latest projects on our completely revamped website HERE.
