<v Speaker 3>your background. You both come from finance, so money start

<v Speaker 3>kick it off with us. Tell us a little bit

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 3>about your background.

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, I started my career at Lehman Brothers many years ago, remember.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Them, drink I do, I do, I do?

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 5>And uh.

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, after about eleven years on Wall Street doing

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 4>investment banking, got to a point where I realized it

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 4>was time for change.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to go work different parts of my brain.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 4>I wanted a different type of adventure and challenge. I

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 4>wanted a new life.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>So I left.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Investment banking behind and packed up all my stuff and

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>went traveling for a little bit, and then ended up

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 4>in Miami hanging out with Chima. And you know, we'll

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 4>get into we'll get into that point.

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>And you have a finance background too, talking about.

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 5>Be a commodity and currency trader for many years as well,

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 5>so we both loved finance. We actually met through a

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 5>mutual friend at her going away party who also worked

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 5>in finance. So I had recently moved to New York

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 5>and the MONI was here working and she's like, you

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 5>guys are similar. You guys should definitely connect. And so

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 5>not only you know, obviously working in finance, but socially

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 5>we had a lot of similar interest and ugly yep yep,

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 5>a lot of that, and it let it and traveling

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 5>traveled out a bit, and we definitely honed in our

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.519
<v Speaker 5>ability to notice great spirits. So we decided to make one.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 6>That's pretty cool. I mean, how do you make that

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 6>leap from we like to travel and we like to.

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Drink Because I like to travel and I like to

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 3>drink and I love my job.

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it is it is, you know now, I

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 6>guess in twenty twenty three you could look back and say, man,

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 6>people are making so much money in liquor. Yes, but

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 6>that wasn't the case then that was it. So how

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 6>did you decide like we could do this better or

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 6>there's not you know, I like this whiskey and that bourbon,

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 6>but there's nothing that really hits it for me, and

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna need to make it myself.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 4>By the way, it's not the case now like some

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 4>people are making money in liquor, but it's a it's.

0:02:54.160 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 7>A yeah Ran, Yeah, Ryan Reynolds and yeah, definitely definitely celebrities.

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 5>And if you've got a great product like we do,

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, I mean, you definitely have the potential to

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 5>make a good amount of money. So the idea to

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 5>answer your question, we I was at dinner one night

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 5>when I was working and with a bunch of buddies

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 5>and this was when Fireball first came out, that whiskey and.

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I've done a shot ski.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 5>We all we all have, we all know it very well,

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 5>and it had just come out. So it was the

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 5>biggest craze and we're at dinner and when my buddies

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 5>brought around for the table, so we take the shot.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 5>Starts well, it starts a conversation. If you could start

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 5>your own flavored whiskey, what would it be. Conversation comes

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 5>to me and I say I would do something reminiscent

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 5>of a Werther's original sugar Sugar Daddy's candy. And everybody's like, wow,

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 5>what a great idea.

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>But of course we all went back to work.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 5>Nothing happened. Many years later, I had left New York,

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 5>moved back to South Florida, whe I'm from. As a

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 5>money mentioned, he had quit, traveled around the world, came

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 5>to hang out with me in Miami, and hey, remember

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 5>this idea, Well, let's look into it. He went back

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 5>to New York. Our kitchens look like chemistry labs, you know, beakers,

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 5>pipettes and things like that. Come You're playing in the kitchens,

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 5>literally sampling with our friends. Everybody's like, what is this

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 5>and why is this amazing? We met and a couple

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 5>of distilleries and left saying, wow, we could do this.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Now we've won ten International Spirit Awards, right, a third

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 5>best flavor wisky in the world.

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>How difficult, though?

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 6>Was it?

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 3>From taking it from your kitchen coming up with something

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 3>that everybody's like, hey, this is really cool, then to

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 3>actually the bottle you brought in and the kitchen, how do.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>You do that? That's anytime you.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 4>Have an idea and you're considering, you know, taking it

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 4>from the idea stage into something actually actually tangible.

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it feels difficult.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>But do you just play around with the recipe? Is

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>it literally?

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 6>It?

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 4>So? Yeah, And even when Shema first proposed the idea,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 4>I was like, huh, that's that's interesting.

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh, you know, salted caramel whiskey.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 4>But I think you know, one of the first things

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 4>we did we found a distillery, as Juma mentioned, and

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 4>went to go hang out there. We spent four hours,

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 4>they opened their doors to us, spent four hours, asking

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 4>every question under the sun. I remember walking out of

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 4>that building. We looked at each other like, hmm, this

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 4>might not be as impossible as it might have thought

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 4>a week or so ago. And so that's really when

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 4>we started thinking, all right, let's let's keep exploring. So

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.919
<v Speaker 4>we started doing research and then we started prototyping. So

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 4>we had an idea of what we wanted to create,

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 4>right because at the time a lot of the options

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 4>in the flavor whiskey space. You know, consumers felt where

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 4>overly sweet syrapy, you know, had an artificial element and taste,

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 4>the after taste, and we thought, you know, if we're

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 4>gonna do this, it has to be a whiskey first

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 4>that happens to have amazing a Roman flavor. It has

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 4>to be one natural, right, nothing artificial at all. It

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 4>has to be it can't be sweet like you're drinking

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 4>cough syrup or something like that. And so Duke and

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Dame has only one gram of sugar per serving.

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I was shocked when I read that, And that's amazing, right,

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's in.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 4>How we formulated it really kind of leads to how

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 4>we're able to accomplish that. And you know, to put

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 4>in perspective, Jack Daniels, Tennessee, honey has five grams of

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 4>sugar preserving five times.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 3>And the world is aware of it. And then and

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 3>then I'm going past the body. I'm going to open

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 3>it up and start.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 6>But so money, what you're saying is initially it's daunting,

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 6>but you put one foot in front of the other.

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 4>And so by the time, okay, you can tell so

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 4>by the time we started playing around in our kitchens,

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 4>and you know, we weren't, you know, just full disclosure.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.719
<v Speaker 1>We were not breaking the law.

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 4>We did not have little this, you know, little distillery

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 4>sets in our kitchens. But we were sampling different types

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 4>of whiskeys, different types of flavorings, kind of formulating what

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 4>we imagined our whiskey would be.

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>We did it, but he constructed.

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 5>Not officiently.

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 4>But a couple of a couple of months later and

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm in New York teams in Florida, we were taking notes.

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 4>We're like, all right, man, try this one milli liter

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 4>of that one middle of this, and then eventually we

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 4>got to a point where we're like, oh, I think

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 4>that's it. Then you know, we took some old whiskey bottles,

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 4>scraped off whatever label was on there, made of batch,

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 4>filled it up, and then we run around and have

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 4>people sample. And so it was at that point when

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 4>our friends are sampling and our family sampling it, that

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 4>were getting this feedback that blew us away, like wow, man,

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 4>this is amazing.

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Dude, you made this in your kitchen. Dude, you have

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to make this.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 4>And we get on the phone We're like, waitmen, you're

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 4>getting the same feedback, well, what do you want to do?

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 4>And and it was at that point that it actually

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 4>became real.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, it smells delicious.

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Money, we're smelling it to tell us.

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, before.

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 3>You walk you through the give about a minute and

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 3>a half and then we're gonna take a break and

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 3>then we'll come back.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 5>So the nose you're getting that really robust came. You

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 5>want to describe it a little bit.

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>It does smell like camera.

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 6>Really smells delicious. And by the way, this this flavor

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 6>has gotten very big. Also, probably wasn't as big when

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.479
<v Speaker 6>you started as it is now because now the caramel.

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Is a thing. It's a thing.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.079
<v Speaker 2>So your first cameral.

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 5>Alright, let's take the first step.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Very smooth, very smooth.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 4>There you go, getting that harsh whiskey. A lot of

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 4>people to whiskey.

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:52.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 6>I was actually worried that I was going to look

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 6>a little bit more feminine because I have a difficult

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 6>time drinking whiskey.

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I always tell people. Notice you just

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>took very soon. You're smiling, and yeah.

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Right, not like you don't get that bike exactly.

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 5>So take your second ship and we'll talk about it.

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 5>Mm hmm. Less sweet. You're getting more tenants from the

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 5>from the bourbon that we use, so we don't hate me.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>But this would be great. All support over vanilla ice.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, we have a lot of customers that love it

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 5>over and an old fashioned Yeah. Well, actually one of

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 5>our many of our accounts are switching from using vodka

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 5>to us in the espresso martini.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>It has such a nice like after feel and warmth.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like it.

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 5>I forgot this.

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you okay? I like it now?

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Are you getting the oakiness and a little spice on

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 4>that second ship?

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was definitely a little different.

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 4>So it was this beautiful layer taste profile that really

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 4>makes Duke and Day unique.

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 3>I want to get right back to our guest Amani

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 3>McCauley and Jima Bury.

0:09:58.400 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 2>They are co founders of Duke and Day.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 3>It is a salted caramel flavored whiskey which Matt and

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I can contest to. We have tried it and it's

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 3>really lovely. And they are here in our Interactive Brokers studio.

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>So one of the things we.

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Wanted to talk to you about. We had a great

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 3>conversation off air while we were doing.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Some news funding. You guys bootstrapped it yes, yes, talk

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to us about that.

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>How hard was it?

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Well our plan was to you know, you know we're

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 4>not seck right, But in the VC world nowadays, no

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 4>one's just giving you a check.

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 1>For one idea, right, they need proof of concept.

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:33.960
<v Speaker 4>You have to go build it first, show that it works.

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the income ask for money. So we took the

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>same approach.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Let's you know, we didn't feel comfortable asking our friends

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 4>and family for money on just some crazy idea. Okay,

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 4>let's go build it first. We created this great product.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 4>We you know, we got some validation from the market

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 4>that it was good. Just wasn't us that thought it

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 4>was good. And we created a business and a few

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 4>years later we were able to go to friends and

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 4>family door a raise and it was much more successful

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 4>than we thought. But because we could show hey, first

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 4>you can touch and feel and taste the product.

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 2>It's good because the two of us, like shooting the breeze.

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 4>We can show the retailers that we got into whether

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 4>it was Total Wine, ABC in Florida, Mark Classico at

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 4>the time, right, So we could show that, hey, look

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 4>at what we've done a cruise. So that made the

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 4>raise easier. It happened a little bit later than anticipated

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 4>because of COVID. Right parts to ask people for money

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 4>when this stock before you.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 2>T twenty seventeen. Was that when you guys, we.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Started a business in twenty seventeen.

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 4>We launched a product in twenty eighteen.

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>And then during the pandemic, did you think, oh my god,

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>this is it, We're going to be killed.

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 3>No, everybody was drinking well or was that a boom?

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, the global brands and the big guys were doing great, right.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 5>The lifeline of smaller companies were craft spirit companies like ours,

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 5>especially just a year and a half in, is what

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 5>we call liquid tilips. So when you go into liquor

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.319
<v Speaker 5>store and you see the brand ambassador giving you samples,

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 5>that shut off. We couldn't do events and activations because

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 5>that shut off. So people couldn't sample this new bottle,

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 5>this spirit. If they knew Tito's, they would go and

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 5>buy it because they just knew it already. But we

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 5>definitely did some creative things that where we actually grew

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 5>during the pandemic. Most brands that started off actually fell

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 5>off or folded because they didn't have that already brand recognition.

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 5>But we pivoted We did some things within our supply

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 5>chain which mattered. We really used our connections, our network

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 5>where everyone was listening to streaming radio. We networked and

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.719
<v Speaker 5>found a whole bunch of on air DJs, had them

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 5>wearing Duke and Dame shirts and bottles and giveaways and

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 5>things like that.

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 4>It's really forced us to transition to digital.

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's awesome, which we had.

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Not done or now that was a.

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Part of it, but really just how do you reach

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 4>the consumer?

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 6>Yep?

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so we had to pivot and do that instead

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 5>of relying on the traditional way of introducing customers through

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 5>experiential marketing, and that was the big thing. So for us,

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 5>we could tout the awards. We won a bunch of

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 5>awards actually before we launched, so in fact, we had

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 5>this great product, but we had to compete against Tennessee

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 5>Honey and Crown Apple and things like that. Now I'm

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 5>on and I we were talking.

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>We're like, all right, we need to.

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 5>Hang a medal on the bottle similar.

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>To this, you know.

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 5>So we applied to four contests. We actually won were

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 5>placed in all four, which was insane.

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>We actually got the top award at the.

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 5>Consumer Choice Award, which is the SIPs Award and when

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 5>we hit the market right away, within two weeks we

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 5>got in the total wine.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty cool, which is huge.

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 6>Did you apply for any funding, I'm a small business,

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.079
<v Speaker 6>loans or anything like that.

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, no, we we.

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Had a couple of.

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.439
<v Speaker 5>Right, so we were fortunate that we were able to

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 5>do something while we were working.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 2>And say, can I ask you are you profitable?

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 6>Not yet?

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Liquor industry is.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 5>Very tough, as we as we continue to expand our distribution. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 5>but but the model will prove yeah that way. But

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 5>right now, when five market is Florida, New York, Michigan, Maryland, DC,

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 5>as I mentioned, and we shipped the thirty eight states,

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 5>seven Caribbean markets, every corner of a.

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Cruisiro in the world. We just started with the Woryal Caribbean.

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 2>They drink a lot.

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we like the fact that they drink. It helps.

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So what's next?

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you expand the line or how do you think

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 3>about it?

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 4>So I think we're at a point now where we're

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 4>really ready to invest in that next stage of growth.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 4>So we were able to bring in a large investor

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 4>earlier this year and so we're really now starting to

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 4>do all the things you wish you could have done

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 4>that you couldn't do BEF for so investing more marketing

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 4>and promotional activities. Of course, Chiem and I have done

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 4>everything from day one. Staff sounds like we have zero

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 4>full time employees other than us, but we're actually now

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 4>starting to, you know, think about building the staff where

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 4>we're interviewing for a marketing role and for sales roles

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 4>on the ground. So we're really trying to kind of

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 4>take Duke and Dame to that next level. So that's

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 4>what we're focused on now in terms of portfolio and

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 4>brand extensions. You know, let's just say we're in the lab.

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>You're in the kitchen.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 6>To find a distiller or did you have to go

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 6>through many.

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Or well it was funny, so before we started on research,

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, you think it's hard, right, but then once

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 4>you get into it, you find out that, oh, you know,

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 4>buy versus build. You can go build your own, but

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot of capital investment required for that if

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 4>you wanted to work with a third party distiller. We

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 4>were very surprised to learn that, oh, some of our

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 4>favorite brands actually don't distill.

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Their own whiskey is amazing.

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, what you can do that?

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 4>So were we were able to find We spoke to

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 4>a few and we found one who was actually based

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 4>in Florida that they make amazing whiskey, and they make

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 4>amazing whiskey for us.

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, we've got to wrap up. I'm Czechoslovaki and Slovan.

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 3>So I have a good holiday and good luck and

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 3>let us know how things are going.

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, what do you say?

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, I would definitely what I just say, cheers.

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Cheers, I have to say really lovely cheers.

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for having us.

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a great way to what is this Thursday? Thursday?

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Thursday Thursday. It's a great way to bring in the

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>holiday of the course.

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm definitely. I mean, I'm going to bring a

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 6>bottle of this out. I have four brothers. They're going

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 6>to be out on the beach with my parents this weekend.
