For the fourth quarter of 2021, Distillery Products segment sales increased 3.3% to $82.5 million, reflecting a 1.8% increase in sales of premium beverage alcohol, primarily due to higher new distillate American Whiskey and white goods sales.

“Strong consumer demand for our American Whiskey products continues to drive meaningful sales for premium beverage alcohol,” said Colo. “Our impressive gross profit results highlight the long-term value of our aging whiskey inventory and is augmented by our ability to create new relationships and develop partnerships with existing customers.
