Recipes & formulation
Can I provide my own recipe for the production of a distilled spirit?
Yes, but it’s important to note that any recipe will undergo a review process by our Master Distiller. This is to ensure that the recipe will yield optimal results in production, and if not, we may propose a review and adaptation to the client.
Does the distillery have ready-made recipes to offer to clients?
No, all our recipes are created ad-hoc for each client. Each of the created recipes is protected with confidentiality agreements and is used exclusively for the respective client.
Will I be able to taste the distillate during the formulation phase and before it goes into production?
Of course, once the recipe is defined with the client, a first distillation test is carried out based on it. If the test is accepted by the client, it proceeds to production; otherwise, it returns to the formulation phase, where it is modified until it meets 100% of the client’s organoleptic requirements.

Production
Is there a minimum production quantity for the development of a custom project?
Yes. For a project to be cost-efficient, there is a minimum production volume of approximately 1,500 bottles of 50 or 70cl. In the case of smaller bottles, the minimum increases to 2,500 bottles. With rare exceptions, we do not initiate projects with lower volumes.
What types of bottle formats does the distillery work with?"
We package distilled spirits in virtually any glass format, ranging from 5cl to 2.5L. We do not package in cans or PET bottles.
Can I take care of providing the packaging materials for my product?
Of course, bottles, labels, caps, cardboard boxes, and similar items can be designed and produced by the client, provided they adhere to the distillery’s technical guidelines.
Do you provide all the permits to be able to sell the product in Spain?
All the bottles that leave the distillery ready for sale in Spain, with all permits and excise duties paid.
Do you work with international clients?
Of course, it’s something we do regularly. If you are an international client, we can produce and assist you with export procedures. The product will be shipped to your country tax-free to comply with its current regulations.
Bottle decoration
Can the bottle be screen-printed?
Absolutely. We collaborate with several companies specializing in glass decoration. That being said, it’s important to note that the minimum production volume would increase to 2,500 bottles, which is the minimum order for screen-printed bottles.
What is better, labeling or screen-printing?
Screen-printing requires a minimum production volume of 2,500 bottles, compared to 1,500 bottles for labeling. However, this is a decision to be made during the project definition phase based on packaging and brand design requirements.

Consultancy fees
Is there a cost for the product definition phase?

How can consulting services help me?
If you are starting your project in a different sector than you are familiar with, all help will be necessary. You’ll need assistance in defining your product correctly, sourcing reliable materials, adjusting costs, and ensuring compliance with current legislation at each stage of the project, among other aspects. Surrounding yourself with a team with extensive experience that can accompany you in the definition phase is highly recommended.

Packaging & brand design
Can I manage the design of my product with another agency?
Of course, yes. If you already have assistance from professionals, they will understand the production requirements we provide. Our clients can choose to use our design services if they wish, but there is no obligation to do so.
I don't have a brand yet - do I need to have one?
Starting the production of a distilled spirit without having a registered brand is not advisable. However, nothing prevents you from launching the project and proceeding with the brand registration simultaneously.
