Yes. There are three focus areas in our sustainability program: (1) Re-purposing agricultural and culinary by-products: our distillates are made utilizing ingredients that would otherwise be thrown out such as fresh oranges with their zests removed by bars, spent coffee grounds from coffee shops and cacao shells from chocolate manufacturers; (2) Packaging reduction: as the industry replaces their high volume cocktails with our kegged cocktails, thousands of bottles of base spirits with their associated packaging will be eliminated; (3) State-of-the-art facility: our new distillery is designed to be all electric and carbon neutral by 2025.
