It would seem to me that you would want to carry at least a minimum of each so that you would never have to say "We don't have that" when a patron orders a drink.

Or, was this thread started as means of free publicity for the restaurant?

Tavern 27 has a full liquor license and does and will continue to maintain one of the largest selections for spirits around that lake. The addition of a distilling operation will enable us to make our own spirits. Each of the four spirit categories listed require a different procedure and different equipment. I've turned to this form to survey our immediate market and attempt to both better serve the market and establish our strategy from this point forward.

I applied for the trademark behind this idea nearly 3 years ago and yes I was aware at that time that when the cat got out of the bag it would generate free publicity. I've already had various traditional media outlets contact me with a request for an interview. I've denied all request to this point because I'm not ready for free publicity.

If you look back this was a continuance of his permit request to the city from another thread. As Baygo states and as he has mentioned through conversation in many other threads he has been serving liquor at his restaurant inside and outside. This imo is a welcomed addition and he was just surveying what type of liquor he should distill since he received his permit. To me this isn’t advertising

Whiskey seems to be the most ordered spirit.

Thank you Rusty. It will be interesting to see how our local market aligns with this report.

Default Whisky

I voted for whiskey since whisky was not on the list, nor is it on the statistics provided by Rusty. Thank you Rusty. Good info.
I would think that time to market would be a major consideration. If you have to age something for years before you can sell it, that requires a whole different set up and timeline plus another layer of overhead. I'd guess what you sell at your present bar is a good indicator, but, of course, good marketing can sell almost anything. Premium vodka is my second choice. When I take the tours, I politely always drink the free sample(s). Looking forward to sampling your success.

Alcohol is Poison to the human body.

You will eventually stop drinking alcohol.
The question is, will you still have a heartbeat when you do.YES, it is that serious.
