Cardinal Spirits has launched Cardinal Copacking, a third-party spirits service
Third-party spirits producers are widely used across the industry to help brands come to market when they are unable to build their own distilleries.
Cardinal Spirits has been distilling under contract since it launched in 2015, and has so far produced 50 spirits and 500,000 bottles. It has also created 15 hourly jobs.
The new business arm, Cardinal Copacking, is aimed towards small and mid-size bottling and private label clients, starting at 100 cases. It will offer services from flavour development to TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) regulatory approval and distribution guidance.
Adam Quirk, co-founder of Cardinal Spirits and director of Cardinal Copacking, said: “We can take your idea from the back of a napkin to the shelf.
“We’re an ideal partner for industry professionals launching a new brand and for existing brands looking to increase the reach of their products.
“We have great relationships with packaging, flavour and spirit vendors, and our operation is a well-oiled machine.”
Last year, The Spirits Business explored the world of distilling under contract and how it is an integral cog in the ‘craft’ spirits wheel.
