Eric leads a panel discussion about flavored whiskey at the 2024 American Distilling Institute Conference and Trade show in Baltimore, Maryland. The esteemed panel includes: Virginia Miller, The Perfect Spot, World's 50 Best Brad Nichols, Flavor Man Sara Sergent, Alpine Distilling Keven Szady, Murlarkey Distilled Spirits We cover a range of important topics in this discussion, all related to the art and craft of bringing flavored whiskeys to market in a crowded and opinionated market. Some of the specific threads we pursue include: Who's drinking flavored whiskey and how we can grow that demographic Using chefs, bartenders, and culinary inspiration as fuel for product development Navigating the regulatory grey areas pertaining to flavored whiskey and distilled spirits specialties Optimizing your formulation when using both fresh botanicals and manufactured specialty flavors How to approach branding and product placement of flavored whiskeys within an existing portfolio with other, non-flavored whiskeys. What might set a "high-end" flavored whiskey apart from the perceived "low-brow" options that currently crowd the shelves. And much, much more
Era poddare kanske är lite rostiga. Hur rostiga? Well en av oss kapitalglömmer vilken whisky han har i glaset. Gomiddag. Kul: Skrewball har börjat säljas på Systemet. Segt: det finns en ännu godare jordnöts- & whiskydryck, fast inte på bolaget … gah! Missa inte vårt nya rekordförsök i nörderi genom en genomgång av kornets beståndsdelar ner på cellnivå. En smula mindre nördigt är veckans destilleri: Mannochmore. Sätta dit-fråga är om du kan skilja det från systerdestilleriet Glenlossie? Vad var det i glaset?

Always fun to sit down with Philip Duff Show stalwart Tony Sachs and go over all the happenings of the year! We covered AI, ChatGPT's cocktail skillz, Skrewball whiskey, gonzo "collabs" like Absolut's vodka sauce made with Heinz and Empirical's Doritos flavour, and discussed the deafening silence around Jason Momoa's Meili vodka, the dastardly abv-lowering deeds of Beefeater Gin, and the likeability of Keanu Reeves. Along the way we had some fancy Tequila Ocho bottlings, the delicious El Viaje raicilla, Charbay's surprisingly tasty R5 hopped whisky, Ryan Maybee's fine J Rieger Rye whiskey, some 1980s Ancient Age bourbon, and (after judicious application of a hammer) some Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal. But, the big news was we fired up the mini copper still I brought Tony back from Lisbon, and distilled a can of Stella Artois into something that wasn't half-bad!

Here's a tip: if you're walking the floor of a spirits-related trade show with Dispact Ventures founder and CEO Andrew Merinoff at your side, be prepared to stop often. He draws a crowd. The 33-year-old investor, who is also the co-founder and CEO of passion fruit liqueur brand Chinola, is a well-known and well-regarded figure in the beverage alcohol industry and has a network that includes early-stage entrepreneurs, veteran operators, celebrity founders and industry captains. Dispact Ventures, which Merinoff launched in 2015, holds stakes in several spirit brands, including Coconut Cartel, The Long Drink and Empirical, along with others in adjacent industries. Merinoff thrives on personal engagement and was in his element at industry convention Bar Convent Brooklyn, held on June 13 and 14. Although swarmed at every turn, Merinoff took time to speak with everyone he met. For him, every conversation is an opportunity to learn and expand his understanding of what's next in beverages and beyond. In this episode, Merinoff spoke about his family's lineage in the spirits industry, how he attempts to identify trends before they become relevant, the key factors in his investment strategy, why he covets brand brands with a great story and how he's navigated his first few months at the helm of Chinola. Show notes: 0:43: Interview: Andrew Merinoff, Founder & CEO, Dispatch Ventures – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif met with Merinoff at the 2023 Bar Convent Brooklyn show where the investor and entrepreneur explained why he'd rather “choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity,” the influence of his family's history in beverage alcohol on his career and how he views Dispact Ventures as differentiated from ones with a similar focus. He also explained how individual factors such as category, technology and design play into his investment strategy, deal flow with emerging companies and a greater sense of empathy for leaders of the firm portfolio companies since taking on his current role with Chinola. Brands in this episode: Chinola, The Long Drink, Teremana , Coconut Cartel, Skrewball, Empirical Spirits, Liquid Death

The story of Skrewball deserves its own biopic, if not a 30-part Netflix series. On the surface, you see a good-time peanut butter whiskey from San Diego—one that defied all naysayers and became one of the top-selling spirits in the country. And then you talk to co-owner Steve Yeng and every twist of his life story makes your eyes bulge and your heart alternately sink and soar. His family fled the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, living in Thai refugee camps. In the San Diego Magazine offices for this podcast, he pulls out a few photos from those days. In one, the family is standing in a foot of muddy water (the town routinely flooded). In another, children eat lunch near a fence made of sharp, deadly spears (it's the cafeteria of the makeshift school). “My father saw his own father shot in the camps,” says Steve, whose grandparents were both killed. The Yeng family—mom, dad, three boys—stayed in the camps for six years. As Steve explains it, Russia's Red Army would routinely bomb the camps, forcing everyone into below-ground shelters. In those cramped, poorly ventilated quarters, Steve contracted polio from one of the other children (the disease is not eradicated in parts of the world without access to healthcare). For the next five years, he would have to undergo multiple surgeries to correct his imbalanced bone growth. Until age seven, he managed to move around using two flip-flops on his feet, and another two on his hands. Eventually, his family managed to make it to the U.S.—specifically, to Ocean Beach—living in a garage without running water. His dad found a job at O.B. Donuts (which the family still owns). And peanut butter became a symbol of a better life for the young Yeng brothers. From that point on, against every odd and with just the right amount of audacity, Yeng became the American dream. This podcast is the longest we've ever recorded. Mostly because David and I sat there rapt, a little heartbroken and wholly inspired. Settle in, or digest it in parts. It's worth it. See you next week, y'all.

On a BevNET Live stage several years ago, former vitaminwater CMO, beverage investor and current “Shark Tank'' judge Rohan Oza remarked that “everything is niche, until it's not.” It's an adage that one could certainly apply to Skrewball Whiskey, a peanut butter-flavored whiskey brand that has experienced one of the one of the fastest market rollouts in the history of the spirits industry. Launched in 2018 by married couple Brittany and Steven Yeng, Skrewball was inspired by a popular peanut butter shot that was on the menu at Steven's restaurant in San Diego. While flavored whiskies have become an established segment within the overall whiskey category, few believed that Skrewball would be anything more than a novelty concept. It's safe to say that the naysayers were wrong. Skrewball has grown at an astonishing rate, selling over one million cases within three years of its debut. The brand is available in all 50 states along with Canada and the Caribbean and sold at major retailers, liquor stores and restaurants. In an interview featured in this episode, Brittany, who earned her master's in chemistry before becoming an attorney and eventually the owner of a spirits brand, spoke about the development of Skrewball, why an “against the grain” approach has worked for the company, what she learned about trust and aligning with people acting in their best interests and why a gut check is a key factor in every decision. She also explained how a poor review of the brand early on was a blessing in disguise, how she and Steven won over a key distribution partner and her position that she's not selling peanut butter whiskey. Show notes: 0:46: Brittany Yeng, Co-Founder, Skrewball Whiskey – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif spoke with Yeng about Skrewball's partnership with the NFL's Buffalo Bills, why a desire to build something with her husband and align their work schedules were important factors in launching the brand, their faith that the company could succeed and the emotional conversation she had with her father about leaving her career in law. She also discussed the impact of her husband's perspective as a restaurant owner and her experience in navigating the nuances of the hospitality industry, why misjudging people was both problematic and helpful and how Skrewball landed its first distilling partner. Later, she explained why identifying a retail buyer's personal motivations is critical to the pitch, the importance of sharing the brand's origin story, the art (and not science) of asking questions, the conundrum of bad people who have good advice and good people with bad advice, the company's straightforward pricing strategy, why naming the brand was the hardest part of the brand's development and how she views ‘me too' products.

Connecting with other women in the alcoholic beverage space is so exciting for me, and I can't wait for you to hear today's conversation with Brittany Merrill Yeng, the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey. We talk all about how she launched this brand with her husband, her approach to scaling, and what it's like to build business relationships. Brittany shares how she's learned to articulate her vision and point of view, even when people around her have doubts. She has a rock-solid mindset that has kept her focused on the path forward and grounded in her beliefs that everything happens for a reason. Listen in to hear more about how Brittany runs one of the fastest-growing spirit companies! IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How Brittany convinced people that Skrewball was more than just another flavored whiskey Getting over the initial hurdles of finding distributors and getting into the beverage industry What Brittany would tell herself if she could go back to when she was first launching the business The best advice that she's received from other successful CEOs How Brittany and her husband's personalities and skill sets complement each other RESOURCES Thanks to Indeed for supporting Earn Your Happy.

Yeng was one to watch as she took her husband's wacky idea of combining peanut butter and whiskey and turned it into a shelf-stable product and Hollywood favorite that reached national distribution in just one short year. An industry disruptor and a woman making waves in a male dominated industry, she is a highly educated woman juggling parenting while running a leading spirits company, creating a brand that goes beyond just whiskey. Skrewball is a lifestyle that is welcoming to all manner of weirdo, maverick and misfit that brings people together in a world of uncertainty. When Yeng isn't taking over the spirits industry one bottle at a time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and getting off the grid while traveling to far remote places with her family.
