OHIO dIvISIOn Of LIQuOr cOnTrOL fiscal Year 2012 Highlights

BY Bruce d. STevenSOn, SuPerInTendenT OHIO dIvISIOn Of LIQuOr cOnTrOL

Bruce d. Stevenson,, Superintendent

iscal Year 2012 was an extraordinary year for the Ohio division of Liquor control. We experienced many significant and positive changes in the industry, and achieved record sales and profits. Our accomplishments reflect the division’s renewed mission to move at the speed of business by modernizing operations for improved efficiency, providing exemplary service to its customers and stakeholders, and taking a common sense approach to regulations helping Ohio businesses grow and create jobs. The dollar sales of spirituous liquor reached a record level in fiscal Year (fY) 2012, totaling $825 million. This was an increase of 7%, exceeding last year’s total by $54 million. division’s net profit was of $251.4 million, an increase of more than $14 million. This achievement is due in part to our focus on better inventory management and improved customer service to meet the needs of Ohio consumers. Tastes have become more sophisticated, and Ohioans are buying more premium products, including the many new flavored items. The most exciting news is a 6 OHIO Beverage mOnTHLY auguST 2012

positive indicator for Ohio’s economy, showing that Ohioans are again patronizing restaurants and entertainment businesses. after decreasing three of the past four years, wholesale purchases by retail permit holders such as restaurants, bars and clubs experienced a significant increase of more than 5%. Total wholesale sales reached $252 million, exceeding last year by $13.4 million.

fIScaL Year 2012 WaS an eXTraOrdInarY Year fOr THe OHIO dIvISIOn Of LIQuOr cOnTrOL another positive for Ohio is that dollar sales grew at a higher rate than consumption. We sold a total of 11.7 million gallons of spirituous liquor, an increase of only about 4% over the previous year. While our dollar sales were at an all-time high, consumption is still less than during the 1980’s. There were significant improvements to Ohio’s liquor regulations in fY 2012 spearheaded by Ohio’s common Sense Initiative. as a result, Ohio businesses will be more competitive. The division continues to play a key role in helping businesses understand and implement these changes. Here are some of the highlights: micro-distilleries (a-3a Permit): The restrictions on the number of licenses for spirituous liquor manufacturers that produce less than 10,000 gallons per year were eliminated. micro-distilleries can now offer visitors a taste of their products, and sell limited quantities for carryout. many of the new manufacturers are

local businesses operated by Ohio artisans, passionate about their craft and want to share it with niche audiences looking for unique, quality products. Some prefer to use locally-sourced agricultural ingredients in their products, creating a secondary market for local growers. craft Breweries (a-1 Permit): Small craft breweries no longer need an additional and expensive permit to sell their products by the glass at their facility. draft beer can be sold for carryout in “growlers” (a one gallon reusable glass container) by grocery and convenience stores that hold permits to sell tasting samples. contract Liquor agencies: many contract liquor agencies can host events offering limited tasting samples of spirituous liquor, providing a venue for manufacturers to introduce new products to customers in a safe, controlled environment. Permit Transfers: Businesses designated as economic development projects can now more easily obtain retail licenses with the elimination of restrictions on permit transfers. By taking a fresh look at regulations and our operations, Ohio is a leader and example of what government can do to affect positive change and help improve the economic future for its stakeholders. In the coming year, we look forward to working with JobsOhio as the state’s liquor profits are used to bring jobs to Ohio. Business friendly regulations, managing alcohol consumption with safety in mind and our commitment to excellent customer service will help create jobs and keep Ohio moving in the right direction.

HOW CHARITABLE TICKET GAMES WORK Let’s Clear Up Confusion

here is a lot of talk out there about how the new charitable ticket game works. So let’s talk about it. In the simplest manner possible, a participant in the ticket game, which benefits charities in Ohio, will make 6% of the gross amount of each “deal” or box of tickets. That doesn’t sound like anything greater than what we get from the lottery. But in fact, we are getting a large portion of the net on the project. Let’s say a deal (box of tickets) has gross receipts of $3,199. The bar will receive $191.94 for one box of tickets. It is very possible that an average bar will process two or more boxes a week. You can do the math. Participating in this game will give you the ability to replace expenses and make your business more profitable. In addition, we will be helping a cause that is worthy of

support. We will be telling you all along about the charities that have helped us get here. These are the groups with which we should work. How this process works will be a discussion we will have on an ongoing basis. This game has a process attached to it that will require you to pay attention to details.

There is a lot of talk out there about how the new charitable ticket game works. So let’s talk about it. The most important thing is to get started. When you are approached by your vending company to participate in the charitable program, get involved. This is totally legal and makes money for you and

a worthy charity. When you are approached about becoming involved . . . get involved. Ask all of the important questions. But get started! This is the best program we have been able to get for you in years. Get involved. If you have any questions on this program give us a call at the OLBA offices at 800-6785995.

We would like to pay a special thanks to the charitable organizations that worked so hard in conjunction with all of our partners to achieve this victory.

LEGALISSUES

SMOKE FREE WORKPLACE ACT Important For All Permit Holders! By Dave Raber

he Ohio Supreme Court ruled last month that the Smoke Free Workplace Act is a valid exercise of the state’s police power by Ohio voters and does not amount to a regulatory taking. In 2006, Ohio voters passed a ballot initiative that prohibited proprietors of public places of employment from allowing smoking in their establishments. This, of

Dave Raber, OLBA Legal Co-Counsel

course, included privately owned bars. The Ohio Department of Health “ODH” and its designees are charged with the enforcement of the Smoke Free Workplace Act. ODH filed a complaint against a bar in Columbus seeking injunctive relief ordering the bar to comply with the Smoke Free Workplace Act and pay all outstanding fines. The bar had received nine notices of violations. The bar prevailed in the common pleas court, but the court of appeals reversed. In reviewing the issue, the Ohio Supreme Court found that Ohio voters have a legitimate purpose in protecting the general welfare and health of Ohio citizens and workforce from the dangers of secondhand smoke in enclosed public places. The Court concluded that requiring proprietors of public places and places of employments to take reasonable steps to prevent smoking on their premises by posting "no smoking" signs, removing ashtrays, and requesting patrons to stop smoking is rationally related to the stated objective of Smoke Free Workplace Act.

The bar cited for violating the law argued that the Smoke Free Workplace Act is not being enforced against actual smokers themselves; furthermore, the evidence revealed that ODH had not received a complaint against an individual smoker. However, the Court stated the evidence established that, during on-site visits, ODH investigators did not witness the bar owners or their employees ask patrons to stop smoking or remove the makeshift ashtrays being used. Under these facts, it is not unreasonable or arbitrary to hold responsible the proprietors of public places and places of employment for their failure to comply with the Smoke Free Act. The bar also argued that the Smoke Free Workplace Act is unconstitutional because it effects a regulatory taking without just compensation. Specifically, the bar argued the law allows the confiscation a of proprietor's control over its indoor air. The Court was not persuaded by this argument and concluded: “the ‘taking’ of appellants' indoor air space is not the type of taking contemplated by either the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution or the Ohio Constitution ***. The goal of this legislation is to protect the health of the workers and other citizens of Ohio. It does so by regulating proprietors of public places and places of employment in a minimally invasive way.” Bar owners must protect their businesses and make certain that they and their employees take affirmative steps to prohibit smoking on their premises. As all permit holders are aware, when their annual renewal is up, their local legislative authority could object to the renewal of the liquor permit under a disregard of law theory, if the permit holder fails to comply with the Smoke Free Workplace Act and allow patrons to smoke on the permit premises.

OLBa WOrkIng On YOur BeHaLf not Just Law changes BY JacOB c. evanS

get many calls about a “recent” law change and how it may or may not impact your business . . . however, many times it is not a law change, but a revision to a rule. Once a bill is passed and becomes law, the rules process begins to add any additional clarification that may be required for the application of the law. Oftentimes, laws are the skeleton to a certain function and the rules act as the muscles. rules provide many of the details that clarify the law: they cannot conflict with law nor can they exceed the scope of the law they amplify. In the case of your business, many of the processes that the division of Liquor control follows regarding the issuance of your permits or the pricing of alcohol or the manner in which you can or cannot advertise certain products are rules. most recently, there were several rules under consideration that do have an impact on your business. The OLBa weighed in on several of them. They range from the review of the smoking ban, to the requirements on restrooms within a liquor permit establishment, to the pricing of wine, and finally, “bugs in a bottle” requirements. It should be clear that we cannot undo the smoking ban through the rules or that we can wipe out

the pricing structure of beer and wine by changing the rules. The LaW clearly states there will be a smoking ban and that there will be a mark up on beer and wine. Through the rules though, we can clearly articulate the InTenT of each law. This means that we can make clear that the definition of “outdoor” patio need not have the additional requirement that the wall cover no more than 50% of the surface area of the outside, or that the international no smoking sign is not simply a statement that smoking is not allowed within the permit premises, but that it can also serve as a notice that if you have lit up it is a statement from the bar owner that the person should cease smoking.

mOST recenTLY, THere Were SeveraL ruLeS under cOnSIderaTIOn THaT dO Have an ImPacT On YOur BuSIneSS The point is, just because there is not a bill moving in the Legislature, it does not mean the OLBa is not continually working on your behalf.

rules are required to be reviewed every 5 years at a minimum and the OLBa continues to follow those rules and offer insight and testimony on the impact and the concerns our members may have.

mulitple Bar management BY cHuck deIBeL

any operators question whether they should or shouldn’t open a 2nd or 3rd location. There are many factors to consider and I am not going to go into all of them. I will discuss the reporting issues and how to solve them regarding the issues of ensuring your sales and inventory are being properly accounted for. first and foremost you must create a separate budget for each store. They will have different customer bases and product mixes. We started one multi unit operator a few years back and their goal was to hit a 30% liquor cost percentage across the board. after we started they found out the between their 10 stores, the store with the lowest overall ideal percentage was about a 24% and the store with the highest overall cost percentage was about a 36%. This more than proved how inefficient managing the financial performance by a “one size fits all” number was for this group. They now strive to hit 98% efficiency ratings each week for all of their stores. and they usually accomplish that feat. This has saved the company close to $500k per year for all of its locations. for those of you familiar with the concept of actual vs Ideal cost percentages, you understand how inaccurate doing this is. It’s a recipe for financial disaster. each store must be measured against its own unique ideal percentage or its efficiency rating (Bevinco rating). many operators will feel they have a “handle” on things when they have only one place, maybe even two; but as you migrate into a multiple bar ownership situation, just how do you stay on top of things? How successful operators handle this issue is to put in independent systems in place to track the sales and inventory in a manner that allows you to get the information easily.

This is where a company like Bevinco comes in as a positive benefit. many might argue whether or not they need the services of a company like Bevinco to take the inventory and doing the sales and inventory analysis, when often the owner is doing it themselves; but it’s hard to argue with the time savings benefit of having an independent company taking this task over.

eacH STOre muST Be meaSured agaInST ITS OWn unIQue IdeaL PercenTage Or ITS effIcIencY raTIng (BevIncO raTIng). The independent reporting that Bevinco offers of not only the variance reports which track the inventory used and compares it to the inventory that’s sold to ensure you are as efficient as possible, but also the inventory ordering report that makes ordering a snap, thus freeing up your time or a manager you might hire. Bevinco is paid by the hour, and isn’t on a bonus program. Having an independent person doing this function ensures the accuracy for the numbers. This Intelipar ordering report cuts down unnecessary ordering and too high of stock levels, which ties up too much cash in inventory that’s not turning over. It also does a wonderful job of keeping you stocked with enough inventory to reduce the chance of running out of items. These reports can be emailed to you or your manager on that same day, allowing you to order from a remote location. Bevinco also provides you with your own web site to access your reports at any time. The site will group the performance of all your

stores together, thus allowing you to create some healthy competition between your managers. Our clients use this access point to incentivize its’ management team and make store comparisons that are easy and relevant. If you are an owner considering multiple store ownership or are already one; please don’t’ hesitate to give us a call or send us an email at deibel@bevinco.com. See you soon!

Wines for a New Generation Fresh Trio from Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines Targets a Younger Audience BY krisTEN BiElEr

ny retailer or restaurateur can tell you the wine drinking public is changing. Americans are drinking more wine than ever, so market opportunities abound, but the most important and coveted demographic is the new LDA drinker, and engaging these new consumers—who have a greater affinity for wine than previous generations—requires a new approach. “Consumers find shopping the wine category overwhelming,” says Diageo Innovation Brand Manager Nicole Lockwood. “There are so many choices, particularly for someone for whom wine is a beverage, not a hobby. They want to have fun with wine brands that fit their lifestyle. Impulse buyers often make purchase decisions based on labels. Today, many wine consumers are looking for branding that is lighthearted fun. Something that makes them smile, think, or feels relevant to their life and interests.” Characterized by a willingness to experiment, they respond enthusiastically to non-traditional packaging, new taste profiles and innovative blends. “We realize that younger wine drinkers are far less influenced by wine traditions and ‘rules,’” says Greg Kryder, Diageo Chateau & Estate President. “We have

a large population of wine buyers that turned 21 after the millennium. They grew up with wine as part of their families’ lifestyle, and they are fearless in their selections. For instance, millennial men are turning to interesting wines on the same occasions, and with the same regularity that they may order craft beer. We aim to create wines that fire that enthusiasm and satisfy that curiosity.”

stark raving With precisely those men in mind, winemaker John Kane of Rosenblum Cellars created Stark Raving, a line of wines whose “retro-futuristic” label aims to “convey a sense of time-hopping irreverence toward history and culture.” Stark Raving Red is a big, juicy, novel blend of Tannat, Zinfandel and other red varietals; Stark Raving White is a full-bodied blend of Chardonnay and Moscato. By August, Kane plans to add an Argentine Malbec and French Cabernet to the line-up. “As male millennial consumers enter the wine category, they typically look for bolder wine offerings, as they also enjoy craft beer, whiskey, bourbon and bold food flavors,” says Lockwood. “These young men are at place in life where they are fully independent and

are exploring their personal passions, making long time life decisions and setting goals. Stark Raving was created to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit—a spirit which can appear crazy or obsessive to others.”

Butterfly kiss Female new LDA drinkers will enjoy Butterfly Kiss, created by winemaker Jason Dodge. Launching with a Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Pink Pinot Grigio, and soon to be joined by a Moscato, Butterfly Kiss offerings are bright, delicate and aromatic with just a hint of sweetness. The iridescent holographic printing technique used for the labels makes the butterfly’s wings appear to shimmer with movement. “The majority of wine shoppers are women—there is a growing opportunity to create wine brands and label designs for them,” explains Lockwood. “With Butterfly Kiss, we wanted to create something that is a visual treat as well as lovely to sip after a long day.”

rose‘N’Blum At Rosenblum, John Kane makes big, bold Zinfandels and Rhônes. However, he noticed that a number of women in his life preferred something lighter, whiter and a little sweeter. This inspired a side project called Rose‘N’Blum. “It’s just a little play on words to show our softer side,” says Lockwood. “These luscious white and pink wines are light and fragrant—the perfect sip for summer, for a night out with the girls, or dinner in with take-out.” The labels employ thermochromatic inks—when chilled to perfection the large roses on the label “bloom” to a more vibrant pink and orange, with delicate shading and line art. “It injects a note of fun when sharing with friends,” adds Lockwood. n

U.S. Proves World Class USBG & Diageo Search for America’s Best Bartender to Compete on International Stage By CArA McIlWAIne 1

his year marks the first time an American is in the mix of the Diageo Reserve World Class international cocktail program, now in its fourth year. After a two-month, nationwide search for America’s top bartenders, conducted with the United States Bartenders’ Guild, 20 finalists traveled to New York on June 19th to compete. Finalists came from cities including Las Vegas, Seattle, Cleveland, Miami, New York, Santa Fe, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Chicago, Portland, OR; and Guttenberg, NJ. The U.S. competitors started a grueling day at 8am, showcasing their cocktail skills using top Diageo brands in four categories and judged by cocktail luminaries Jim Meehan, Tony Abou-Ganim, Julie Reiner, Steve Olson and USBG National President David Nepove. Nathan Burdette of Cleveland, OH was recognized in the Classics with a Twist category; James Menite of New York received highest marks in the Spice Market category; in Food Pairing, the winner was Sother Teague of New York; and in the Ritual Theater category, Steve Schneider of New York put on a literally electric performance with a cocktail inspired by Thomas Edison.

de Janeiro, Brazil July 8 th–13 th with top bartender talent representing some 50 countries. Mark Schulte, Diageo’s SVP of customer marketing, commented on Richard Gomez, “We know that his supreme talent, cocktail knowledge and mixology skills will make the United States proud when representing our country at the international competition in Brazil.” Richard Gomez traveled to Rio where he and his peers spent five days participating in a series of challenges judged by some of the most respected in the industry. The Global Diageo World Class Bartender of 2012 was decided after we went to press; we will report on the winner in the September issue. ■

After the individual category winners were announced, the USBG named Richard Gomez of Portland, OR, the first ever Diageo World Class U.S. Ambassador. Throughout the evening celebration, guests enjoyed cocktails made with Diageo Reserve brands Don Julio, Johnnie Walker, Zacapa, Tanqueray, Ketel One, Bulleit Bourbon and Cîroc. After winning, Gomez said, “This is an unbelievable opportunity and I can’t express how excited I am.” He added, “My fellow participants are an amazing illustration of American mixology talent and I am truly honored.”

FROM CALIFORNIA, SPARKLER domAIne LAurIer BRUT

First unveiled at the Texas Package Store Convention last August, Lunés Sparkling Moscato has now sold almost 70,000 cases in 20 U.S. markets. The nose is fresh and peachy, and the blend with natural fruit essences makes Lunés slightly sweet. The unique “Collio” bottle has clear labeling and coordinated Stelvin screwcaps. Colorful cartons make excellent stacked displays. Moscato flavors include mango, peach and strawberry.

Domaine Laurier Brut is an award-winning, affordable and traditionally-made California sparkling wine. “Using the traditional méthode champenoise process to make Champagne results in a sparkling wine that has that wonderful, toasty aroma and fine bead. We also preserve the nuances provided by the Chardonnay grape so that the wine has the added fruit, depth and complexity that are hallmarks of Chardonnay wines,” said winemaker Bob Stashak.

mArnIer-LApostoLLe -LApostoLLe INTRODUCES GRAND MARNIER CHERRY Marnier-Lapostolle is unveiling Grand Marnier Cherry in September, a limited-edition expression for the holiday season. Grand Marnier Cherry is a blend of the same fine Cognacs used to craft Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, as well as the iconic orange spirit the brand is known for, and also incorporates the essence of European Griottes cherries. The result is a lush, yet balanced marriage of orange and cherry flavors mellowed by Cognac.

SOcIaL medIa fOr BarS What Is It really about?

here seems to be ongoing confusion as to just how social media should be used by bar and restaurant owners, managers and marketers. In this article, I want to elaborate on this further and explain what it is. Before I do that though, I can’t help but wonder at what point did it become a natural choice to try and spam as many people as possible with messages written in capital letters with poor grammar

and non-existent punctuation? It can’t be just the fact that there is a built in audience on social media and that if you shout to enough people, “someone” will hear it and take action, because if that was the case, newspaper circulation wouldn’t be in decline and by the same measure, if you as a business owner ever saw a crowd of people in the street, you would run up to them and scream: “$2 drafTS 5-7Pm, $1 PBrs, ncaa game TOnIgHT, YeaHHHH!!!!!”, but you don’t. at least I hope you don’t. no, I think the answer is a mixture of laziness, misinformation and pure speculative marketing. conversely, those businesses that actually use social media transparently, informatively and appropriately can often attribute sales and success to it. So why isn’t everyone doing it that way? Let’s break down what “doing it the right way” actually means.

BY BarrY cHandLer educaTIOn first off, social media channels like facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram etc were not designed for use by business. not for a second. They all sprung up to serve the needs of ordinary folks like you and me. Business use came second to this initial goal of making life easier or more interesting for a customer. To capture the hearts, minds and dollars of our customers, we must therefore appeal to them. not advertise to them, not spam them, not shout at them, not call them names, not confuse them by linking different social media accounts together. no. We must appeal.

THOSe BuSIneSSeS THaT acTuaLLY uSe SOcIaL medIa TranSParenTLY, InfOrmaTIveLY and aPPrOPrIaTeLY can OfTen aTTrIBuTe SaLeS and SucceSS TO IT That means we share with them politely, sparingly, and appropriately, the best things about the bar or restaurant. a picture of a certain dish that is a customer favorite, a video of the band that rocked there over the weekend, a picture of the beautiful enclosed patio, a video of your specialty cocktail being mixed. need I go on? educate, don’t alienate. Your customers are smart and if you provide the dots, they’ll join them themselves. now I’m not saying you can never tell people what price things are or how they can buy from you, but I am saying that the difference in engagement between the two styles of posts can be staggering. remember, every time someone clicks “Like” or they comment or share a post, more than 150 more people (their friends) see it too. So think of social media posts as viral messages that serve to educate

your fans and their friends. enTerTaInmenT Think of a bar or restaurant as an entertainment hub. They are places you go to eat, drink, enjoy the company of others, listen to music, play pool, the list goes on. So why would social media be any different. Your facebook, Twitter, Instagram pages are extensions of your brands and should be treated that way. keep your business “top of mind” with your customers by entertaining them during the day with clever posts, funny pictures, add-your-caption posts and entertaining content consistent with your brand. That extra minute a day that your fans spend being entertained by you could make the difference when it comes to making a dining decision so don’t take this suggestion lightly. engagemenT engagement breeds engagement, which breeds business. make your facebook and Twitter posts open ended occasionally to solicit a response. Think about it, if you post a statement, you’re not giving anyone a reason to reply or click “like” or comment. You know what happens when you occasionally ask your fans to “click Like if…..”? They click Like! It’s not rocket science, just don’t wear it out. Social media interactions are like a bank account, you can;t keep taking out, you have to put something on every now and again, so engage with your customers. run promotions that attract entries and viral shares. keep to facebook’s Promotion guidelines when doing so and you’ll help increase customer loyalty and “top-of-mind” buy in from your fans when you do run a monthly or weekly contest. So there you have my three e’s of what you should be doing on your social media channels. anything different, I’d consider carefully if its in the best interest of your customer. keep them happy and they’ll keep you happy.

Light, dark, flavored, spiced, rum has many ways to please

BY WARREN BOBROW

um has a dark, often tempestuous history. Before there was a United States there was rum. Rum was used as a currency in the means of international trade. The distillation of rum and the transportation of its base raw materials fueled countries’ coffers and their revolutions. The dark side of rum was the slave trade; rum slaked the thirst of sailors, presidents, kings and even the slaves who cut the cane. Rum was and still is a liquor of historic proportions. Beer has a long history of being brewed but would sour on long sea journeys. Wine was spoiled by heat and humidity when transported to the New World. Rum could be stored for decades without fail, carrying this spirit into the modern age.

Suddenly and with fervor, 21st-century rum is being perceived as serious of a spirit as bourbon and Scotch. You don’t have to cover up rum with cola any longer. Rum is a flavor-driven beverage. Now, with the explosion of flavored rums, it has a very important place behind the bar—for all seasons, not just summer.

FLAVORS, BARRELS & BLENDING Bacardi, the venerable brand from Puerto Rico, remains a category flag-waver, making vast quantities of rum available to an emerging, thirsty market. As an ingredient, Bacardi is indispensible in flavor-driven, modern versions of cocktailian pleasures such as the Mojito and the timeless Cuba Libre (Rum and Coke). As a bellwether of rum overall, it is useful to note that Bacardi has pioneered flavored rums as well. With OakHeart Spiced Rum plus flavors such as Limón, Peach Red, Black Razz, O (orange), Big Apple, Melon (watermelon), Cóco (coconut), Wolf Berry (blueberry) and Dragon Berry (strawberry, infused with the trendy dragon fruit), Bacardi has the range to sustain any mixologist’s dreams far beyond the typical. Bacardi also makes miniscule quantities of their seriously delicious 1873 Solera Rum. One key to rum’s modern renaissance is found in the barrels. Rum casks from the production of bourbon have transformed the former “kill-devil” to a drink of great elegance. There are very specific rules pertaining to the use of bourbon oak; casks can only be used once to age bourbon and are then sold to rum distilleries. Abuelo from Panama is one producer that has excelled in using ex-bourbon barrels. Ron Abuelo Anejo Reserva Especial and Ron Abuelo 7 Años Reserva Superior both “play well with others” in cocktails. The “only in a snifter without ice” Ron Abuelo 12 Años Gran Reserva, is as elegant as the finest whisky from Scotland or Kentucky.

Venerable brands like Ron Barceló from the Dominican Republic utilize both new oak and bourbonoak for aging. These rums are expertly blended to give a creamy, tight mouthfeel and a lengthy finish. Blending is another means to a finer end product for rum distillers. Denizen Rum is a carefully blended combination of 15 pot-still distilled rums in three distinctive styles from Jamaica and Trinidad. These exotic individual rums are then blended in Amsterdam. Denizen is brightly flavored and glows in the glass with tropical aromatics.

have disappeared, giving consumers another quality choice for authentically produced Caribbean rum. For historical authenticity, look no further than the Jamaican brand of Appleton Estate, handcrafting distinctive rums since 1749. Magnificent in a snifter with a splash of coconut water or in a punch, Appleton Estate is Jamaican rum personified. Distilled from local sugar cane, then aged in ex-bourbon casks, Appleton Estate Rum is boldly flavored in a most modern style, rich with caramelized sugar notes. Malibu is continuing their profitable trend of flavoring rums with tropical fruits

RUM NUMBERS: OVERALL RUM VOLUME IN THE U.S. MARKET ROSE ALMOST 1% IN 2011, BUT THE REAL STORY WAS UPSCALE RUM; HIGH-END VOLUME GREW 32% IN 2011, AND SUPER-PREMIUM WAS UP 50+%. Source: DISCUS

The distinctive Pyrat Rum is a blend of nine different Caribbean rums, aged for 15 years in a mix of French Limousin oak and toasted American oak. Pyrat is lovely in the mouth, creamy and pure at the same time. The squat bottle is reminiscent of early bottles that swashbucklers and sailors alike stowed away below deck of their vessels to make the journey somewhat more bearable. Pyrat was initially released a few decades ago but it was nearly unavailable outside of the Caribbean due to the extremely small production. Now with the acquisition by a new parent company, Patrón, shortages

like mango, coconut and citrus. The most recent offering, Malibu Black, is a bit less sweet and a bit higher in alcohol, for a drier-finishing rum. It mixes well with other spirits.

SPICED RUM: GIMMICK OR TREND? The distillers of Captain Morgan, long known for their 80 proof spiced version, are adapting to consumer demand for strength along with edgey flavor. Captain Morgan Black rolls in at 100 proof, powerfully laced with a proprietary blend of Caribbean spices evocative of the islands.

How are flavored rums made? Flavored rum is made with flavoring agents—sometimes natural but often artificial, for cost-efficiency, not unlike the bulk of flavored vodkas.

How/when in the production process do they add spice to create spiced rums? The spices (typically baking spices such as cinnamon, vanilla and/or ginger) go in at the end—unless it is a very expensive spiced rum, then they go in at the beginning of aging. Siesta Key is one producer doing it the old-fashioned way.

How does dark rum get its color? True, dark rum can achieve its color from the cask, through oxidation, but in this day and age where cask aging costs more money, it is often from added caramel or other coloring agents. Gold, or amber, rums—stylistically midway between light and dark rums—gain their color via barrel aging.

RUM FAQS

bodied and oily on the tongue. Puerto Rican Rum is more akin to vodka in mouthfeel; it is mostly clear and tends to have less rum flavor. Barbados rum is Englishstyled, fermented from cane juice; rich and almost sappy in the mouth. Rum from Martinique is crisp, aromatic and very refreshing; the flavor of the cane is in the forefront of the mouth. Rums from Panama tend to be thicker and richer than rums from Guadeloupe or Martinique. Burnt sugar and ex-bourbon barrels give Panamanian rums signature aromatics of white flowers, toasted oak, vanilla and treacle syrup. Rums from the French islands tend to be cane-sugar-forward; their oak is usually from France, previously used for aging Cognac. Central American rums use predominantly ex-bourbon oak in their aging process. American rum from the U.S. Virgin Islands tends to be industrial; sugar beets are utilized (in addition to molasses) as a base material because these ingredients are less expensive than freshly cut cane. Making rum from sugar cane is a time-consuming and laborintensive process, but as is so often the case with fine spirits, the final product is stylistically distinct, and to aficionados such rum is worthy of a higher tab.

Captain Morgan is extremely mixable in many Tiki-bar-style concoctions. It is also is absolutely sublime in hot buttered rum or as a lively aperitif with fresh lime juice and seltzer. Sailor Jerry, distilled in St. Croix, is a 92 proof spiced rum that plays well in mixed drinks or alone on the rocks in a tall glass. It is most recognizable for the sour cherry, savory cinnamon and freshly scraped nutmeg flavors that are woven through this very recognizable brand. Sailor Jerry is not overly sweet and is quite refreshing, especially with seltzer and lime. Blackheart, from Heaven Hill in Kentucky, is a distinctive spiced rum that rolls in at a palate-warming 93 proof. The warmth of this spirit is offset by the creamy elegance of careful blending. Blackheart is laced with sweet vanilla that meets nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and hot chilies. Marvelous mixed with coconut-water ice, a splash of simple syrup and a hit of fresh lime juice, the Blackheart will shake up the preconceived notion that spiced rum only means candy-sweet concoctions. Admiral Nelson, also from Heaven Hill, is known for a massive 101 proof spiced rum as well as creamier, thicker 70 proof offerings. Both are wonderful in a classic hot toddy, hot buttered rum, a lively piña colada or even a spiced rum and tonic. Domestic producer Siesta Key in Sarasota, FL, makes a small-batch spiced rum that speaks clearly of the quality of the local Florida-grown sugar cane. Flavors of vanilla, nutmeg and allspice evoke a very tropical feel with the backbone of handcrafted rum.

RUM PARADE Rum is only getting more popular as time goes on, in all varieties and formats, from a simple molasses-based spiced quaff to sophisticated sugar-cane spirits as serious as the world’s finest digestifs. Here is a roundup of other rums of distinction on the U.S. market:

~ Brugal makes both light and dark rum, both of which are easily mixable. Extremely popular and flavor-driven. ~ Cockspur 12 Bajan Crafted Rum is as serious as Scotch. Barbados used to be the world leader for sugar cane. Now the cane fields have sprouted mansions, but Cockspur still farms their own cane. ~ Cruzan is the rum from the Virgin Islands; you’ll find it on every backbar in the islands. It is made from cane molasses and yields a bold flavor; their white rum is the most popular version. ~ Don Q is a huge player; they make dark and flavored rums, both very mixable. Ideal for a rum punch or a planter’s punch. ~ Kraken delivers an irresistible blend of spice flavors and vanilla overtones, plus brilliant marketing and a hip bottle; it mixes well and has a bit more alcohol than many of the others. ~ Martí Mojito Rum, pre-blended with lime and mint, is popular with the 21- to 30-year-old set, on the rocks or blended with fruit juice. ~ Ron Matusalem is produced in the time-consuming solera method, like Sherry, whereby barrels used to draw rum for bottling are replenished with rum from younger barrels. Old-fashioned and extremely flavorful. Another solera rum of note is the 1796 bottling of Santa Teresa, made in Venezuela.

~ Vizcaya is Cuban-styled; a cigar rum if you will. Excellent mixed into a mojito or enjoyed in a snifter, this rum is rich, thick and flavor-driven. ~ Caribaya, from the Virgin Islands, is best known for their coconut rum. Caribaya is the staple of every sailboat’s galley in the islands. Fabulous with cola in a Coconut Cuba Libre. ~ Brinley Gold Shipwreck Rum is made in St. Kitts from molasses then aged in ex-bourbon oak for four years. Infused with local spices, this is a most authentic and delicious version of spiced rum. ~ Blackwell Rum is a class act. Classic Jamaican rum nose of charred wood, creamy oak and vanilla notes. Esoteric and rare, it is fabulous by itself in a glass with coconut-water ice. ~ Dzama, in Madagascar, distills a broad range of rums from aged to spiced. Very full-bodied and friendly in cocktails that use tropical fruits; powerful in the glass as exotic aromas of pie spices combine with deeper notes of candy sugar syrup. ~ Original Bartenders Coconut Rum is an easy-to-use flavored rum; extremely versatile in tropical concoctions. ~ Rum Jumbie is a sugar-cane-based infused rum from the Caribbean. Offering robust flavors such as coconut, Rum Jumbie makes the work of being a bartender even easier, with authentic aromatics and character.

~ Banks Rum is a very sophisticated blended rum that hails from several different Caribbean nations. Banks White Rum is built with several different rums, each with its own distinctive character; the final result resonates with the exotic aromatics. ~ Flor de Cana, from Nicaragua, is a gorgeous mouthful of pure and natural ingredients, including singleestate sugar cane. They use un-airconditioned rick-houses to patiently age their consistently aromatic and carefully crafted rums. ~ Dominican Club—featuring Silver, Gold and Añejo expressions—is making a strong bid to raise the profile of rum from the Dominican Republic. ~ Caliche Rum, from Puerto Rico, is made in the old style, meaning this is a rum with great flavor. Crystal-clear but full-bodied and almost creamy on the palate, Caliche is able to stand alone or mix well.

CACHAÇA: NOW OFFICIAL April 9, 2012, was a landmark date for spirits: In an accord signed by U.S. trade representatives, the U.S. pledged to recognize Cachaça as a distinctive Brazilian product. No longer will Cachaça be termed “Brazilian rum.” While similar to other sugar-based distillieries, it is now recognized as a product that has its own distinctive terroir and provenance.

Rhum Martinique “Vieux” (extra-aged rum): Rum that has been aged in oak casks within the production area and for at least three uninterrupted years. Capacity of barrels must be under 650 liters. The rum must also contain at least 325 grams per 100 liter of pure alcohol of volatile elements other than ethanol and methyl at the end of the three years. This minimum concentration, higher than the one imposed to caskaged rum, guarantees an even richer bouquet for the extra-aged Rhum Agricole. Whatever category the rum may be, no rum with the designation of origin “Martinique” can be sold with an alcoholic concentration lower than 40%. Rhum J.M is a gorgeous example. Esoteric and highly aromatic, with notes of white flowers and citrus peel, J.M is still handmade with freshly crushed cane from their estate on Martinique.

Culturally, Cachaça is more than just a panacea of the underclass; Cachaça is the national drink of Brazil. It is also part of the national identity. The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, made with Cachaça, sugar (preferably raw cane sugar) and freshly cut limes. Protecting the name Cachaça is very important to the cultural preservation of the uniquely Brazilian method of distillation. During production of Cachaça the distiller is allowed to add sugar to the blend, forcing up the alcohol levels. If more than six grams of sugar are used, the end result must be labeled Sweet Cachaça by law. Cachaça is traditionally aged in a diverse array of wood, such as traditional oak, but also in woods found only in Brazil. These include umburana, ipê, cedar, balsam, jatobá, freijó and jequitibá. Different varieties of native wood impart different unique and indigenous flavors. Cachaça runs the gamut from high-power, firedriven moonshine to highly elegant and cherished spirits, not unlike the finest Cognac or Scotch whisky. At present, the U.S. market has a limited selection, but Leblon Cachaça (SRP $30) is available in all 50 states. Leblon’s master distiller, Gilles Merlet, uses techniques from his native France, including alembic batch-distillation and aging in Cognac casks. A new expression, Maison Leblon Reserva Especial, is reaching the U.S. in August. Higher-end Cachaças have been slow to hit the market. Sao Cachaça is one of a growing number of Eco-Cert (Certified Organic) Cachaça brands in Brazil. Rich in the mouth with sharp notes of bitter chocolate and citrus rind, this Cachaça speaks clearly of the quality of the ingredients. Avuá Cachaça is the only brand of the liquor made by a woman in Brazil; she does two expressions using indigenous Brazilian wood. As a market sign of how hot Cachaça is expected to become, Diageo has recently purchased the Ypioca brand from Brazil for $453 million. ■

Cordials are all about focused intense flavor, which is why they have long enjoyed a role in cocktails, where a judicious amount can go a long way, creating interplay with other elements. Shown here, a selection from Cointreau: Beverly Hills Hotel Margarita (left) and MargaDita.

THE ORIGINAL FLAVORED SPIRITS HUSTLE TO KEEP PACE BY JACK ROBERTIELLO

ho is the cordial drinker? It’s a trick question, of course, since, unlike nearly all other spirit categories, there’s something for every drinker among the many flavored products offered today. And different subsets of consumers continue to find something that sparks interest. Experimental early adopters rapidly took on such recent innovations as St.Germain and Domaine de Canton. Young legal-age drinkers continue to make Jägermeister their shot of choice. Cocktail enthusiasts have welcomed the revival of bittered Italian brands Campari, Averna and Aperol. Holiday entertainers still stock up on Baileys, Kahlúa and Drambuie. And whatever the demographic, age, sex or situation, chances are there’s a cordial or liqueur that hits the sweet spot. Despite (or perhaps because of) this “something for everyone” state of the business, the category and all its myriad off-shoots—creams, coffees, herbals, sours, schnapps, puckers—are coming under increased market pressure: from flavored

vodkas and rums; from honey- and cherryflavored whiskies; from beverages like Skinnygirl that blur the line between ready-to-drink, liqueur and spirit; from high-quality syrups; and from on-premise trends that eschew overly sweet or artificially flavored brands. “While there is plenty of innovation throughout the industry, liqueurs are on the cutting edge of product development,” says Heaven Hill’s corporate communications manager Josh Hafer. “But it’s important to note the vast makeup of this segment. From amaros to aperitifs to fusion liqueurs, it is often the case that products within a similar sub-segment are not competing against each other. That said, producing products that are meaningful to

their audience is the paramount issue for all liqueurs.” Overall, the broad category of cordials and liqueurs rose 2.6% in volume in 2011 to 21.5 million 9-liter cases. Domestics grew 4.5%, while imports just ticked up slightly by 1%, according to Chicagobased Technomic’s Adult Beverage Resource Group. Of the four price categories, premium ($15-$26.99) and value ($14.99 and under) retained the majority of volume in 2011, with the premium tier expanding 4.5%. High-end ($27-$39.99) and superpremium ($40+) products grew slightly. Full lines of cordials and liqueurs accounted for the largest share of the business, although it’s a slowly decreasing share, as consumers opt for lower-proof flavored spirits instead. As restaurant beverage consultant David Commer says, “The growth of flavored, especially lower-proof spirits, shows that for all the talk of craft cocktails, consumers like to have things solved for them.” Being able to pour a

lightly flavored but slightly sweet spirit directly into an iced glass in many cases removes the demand for some traditional liqueurs.

Gettting Com mpetiitive

Increasing customer interest in flavored spirits has become a challenge for liqueurs at retail, according to Michael Bradley, buyer for the two Crazy Bruce Discount Liquors in Connecticut. “A lot of the decrease in sales of cordials is going to the flavored vodka sales—especially those cookie and cake and other new ones,” says Bradley. “Those vodka trend drinkers used to be the flavored cordial drinkers, who bought peach and sour apple and all those flavors in cordials and schnapps.” Whiskey specialties achieved the largest volume gain last year, a new classification that takes into account American and Canadian flavored brands which have exploded. In fact, without those being included, cordials and liqueurs might have dipped badly last year. Still, the industry keeps churning out new, unusual flavor combinations and iterations hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. Case in point: OR-G, introduced last summer, is blend of French vodka and natural persimmon, papaya, mango and lime juices. Its appeal extends beyond the exotic ingredients; it is being marketed as a “sensual experience.” Like most recent launches, the flavor profile is designed for versatility, as in on its own or mixed in cocktails.

They are also bringing old favorites back. In June, Marnier-Lapostelle announced the limited release of what’s now called Grand Marnier Cherry, a modern version of the long disappeared Cherry Marnier. (For a sampling of the latest new brands, see sidebar.) Southern Comfort has returned as well with a new flavor, following up last year’s release of the “love it or hate it” Tabasco-infused Fiery Pepper with Bold Black Cherry, designed to be consumed in long drinks rather than as shots, says U.S. Brand Director Jason Kempf. Southern Comfort has an advantage in the current market in that it’s seen by consumers as a primary ingredient in drinks, needing only ice or a mixer. Perhaps that’s why the various line extensions have been able to find placement in chain restaurant accounts, which has been much more difficult post-recession. For instance, Chevy’s Fresh Mex, a national chain of Mexican casual dining restaurants, features Fiery

Pepper in their “Bloody Maria” cocktail. Sweet heat, it seems, may be a new area of exploration; Beam Global’s DeKuyper is readying a chocolate-chile flavored entrant in its Crave line. Commer says major restaurant chains are being pickier about taking on new flavors: “They are more likely to decide to feature a specific drink before taking on a cordial. If they’re not featuring it in a drink, they’re not bringing it in—it has to have a reason to be there.” They also are shedding full lines of liqueurs that were once essential bar ingredients, rather than keep such an extensive and non-performing inventory, he notes. But there are openings; the giant Applebee’s chain recently listed Margarita and Sangria specialties employing DeKuyper’s Razzmatazz. As well as onpremise placements, getting consumers to understand how to use cordials at home is essential, says Gary Ross, director of cordials and rums for DeKuyper supplier Beam Global. “The biggest challenge for us and the category is reminding consumers that a cordial is a key ingredient in a quality cocktail—one they can make at home themselves,” he says.

As Rob Cooper of St.-Germain points out, suppliers routinely count on customers learning about new brands on-premise before they’re willing to buy at retail, but that few people are actually making elaborate cocktails at home.

What Will Be The Next Breakout que eur r? Liq

efore St.-Germain, Canton and RumChata, three recent success stories, there was PAMA, Alizé and Hpnotiq— all brands that burst onto the spirits scene, enjoying rapid growth, and staying relevant with a significant fan base. Current consumer demand for more and more flavors means at the very least that new brands and extensions will continue for the foreseeable future. Here are a few of the most recent releases entering the wild, wild west of cordials and liqueurs: Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur has introduced the brand’s first line extension, Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon, a blend of premium honey liqueur and Kentucky bourbon. Both Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon and Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur differentiate themselves from the growing competition by being made with pure, natural honey and no artificial flavors, handcrafted by one of Germany’s oldest family owned companies, Schwarze & Schlichte. Two recent success stories from the Patrón Spirits Company—Patrón XO Café and Citronage Orange— have shown steady growth at the high end for the past five years. Now the company offers the premium-priced Patrón XO Café Dark Cocoa, a blend of silver tequila with coffee and chocolate flavors bottled at 60 proof. The success of other creams has spurred the creation of Forbidden Secret American Cream Liqueur, a blend of pure American dairy cream, Jailers Premium Tennessee Whiskey, dark chocolate and robust espresso. Then there are brands like Le Sutra, a quartet of sparkling, fruit-flavored liqueurs (blueberry, strawberry, peach and grape) “infused with vodka,” further blurring the spirit/liqueur lines. The flavors can be sipped over ice or mixed with sparkling wine, vodka, Cognac, tequila or rum.

Industry pioneer Hiram Walker continues to mine flavor opportunities both traditional and modern; recent introductions include Watermelon Sour Schnapps and Whipped Cream Imitation Liqueur. The latter is perfect for delicious dessert-like cocktails; both are tasty chilled and straight up as well. Heaven Hill recently launched Mariposa Agave Nectar Liqueur in select markets, looking to capitalize on the growing bartender preference for agave syrup as a drink sweetener. It’s a mixture of agave nectar, tequila and vodka, with hints of rose oil and gardenia. Sweet Revenge is a 77 proof liqueur called “the Original Wild Strawberry Sour Mash.” According to the makers, it’s “a show-stopping shade of pink, but don’t be fooled by her rosy appearance—though she’s sweet and juicy upfront, she’s got a raw, rockin’, highproof finish.” Sweet Revenge is meant to be served as a shot or on the rocks. Killepitsch is a recent entry into the herbal bitters category, an 84 proof German liqueur made with more than 90 herbs, spices and fruits, created in the 1950s and borne of a pledge made in a bomb shelter during WWII by the creator to have a special drink (locally, a ‘pitsch’) with a friend afterwards if they both survived. From the heart of Italy’s Veneto region comes Antica Sambuca, originated in 1868, and made by distilling the infusion of anise stars with sweet orange, Turkish rose, iris, coriander and cardamom. To produce Antica Black, Calabrian licorice is infused into 60% ABV alcohol at room temperature for three weeks before added to the basic Antica Classic. Also from Italy, Pisa, a nut liqueur made from hazelnuts, almonds and pistachios, is now sold in seven states and expanding, according to importer Vision Wine & Spirits.

Kempf echoes this: “On-premise is still where recruitment happens, and a lot of cordials and liqueurs aim to become the bartender’s best friend in their quest to make a drink more interesting. Now there’s much more competition around that then ever before.” Cream liqueurs have taken on new life lately through the energy of new entrants patterned after industry leader Baileys, even though on-premise their consumption has plummeted. Molly’s—a blend of fresh Irish dairy cream (comprising a third of each bottle), aged Irish whiskey and a touch of chocolate—has seen significant growth since arriving in America, largely on the power of samplings. Also noteworthy are two rum-based achievers: Tres Leches and RumChata. Tres Leches is a Caribbean triple cream modeled after the Latin dessert of the same name. RumChata, which has surged to approximately 60,000 case sales in a few years, is also rum-based, but with a flavor reminiscent of the Mexican almond drink called horchata (as well as rice pudding and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal).

Exttensio ons Galo oree

Michael Bradley of Crazy Bruce points out that most line extensions are tools to keep consumers from straying to other brands. Kahlúa, for example, is now sold in mocha, hazelnut, French vanilla, peppermint mocha and higherproof Especial, as well as a line of readyto-drink products and, most recently, iced coffee with alcohol. The Godiva line of rich chocolate liqueurs also now includes five iterations: original dark chocolate, white chocolate, mocha, milk chocolate and caramel milk chocolate. Trying to revive brands with line extensions is also seen as a way to return buzz to a product that’s already made its mark. With Harmonie—a blend of French vodka, infused natural fruits, flowers and Cognac—Hpnotiq adds a vibrant violet sister to the iconic blue original. “It follows Hpnotiq very closely from a marketing standpoint,” says

Heaven Hill’s Hafer. “But the introduction was four times larger than our expectations. This clear success raised the tide for the franchise. Hpnotiq Original benefited greatly.” Other subcategories have become more competitive; for many years among orange liqueurs the choice was between value-brand triple secs and high-end icons like Cointreau and Grand Marnier. But the growth of the alternate brands like Gran Gala showed the way for DeKuyper’s Brazilian orange O3 and the return of the Belgian, Cognac-based Mandarine Napoléon. Many brands have targeted bartenders and the cocktail culture as older consumers and occasions disappear. Drambuie is a good example; at the recent Tales of the Cockail, the brand offered $10,000 for the best cocktail recipes designed to be served on tap. The whisky-based cordial has slowly seen its share shrink, as have other formerly popular after-dinner drinks. Yet as Bradley of Crazy Bruce points out, “There still are the staples—Kahlúa, Baileys, Amaretto di Saronno—those sales are fine, though probably 60 percent of those sales for us are in the November-December holiday season.” Jägermeister is a consistent seller year ’round: now the #1 selling imported liqueur in the United States and eighth largest premium spirit in the world, the brand recently unveiled its first-ever television advertising campaign in the U.S., featuring varied sporting legends that speak to the 21-29 year-old male demographic. But as Kate Laufer, director of public relations at Sidney Frank Importing Company points out, there’s also major growth in honey-flavored spirit volume, up 137% by the end of 2011 according to Nielsen. Even though this new category is driven by whiskey flavors, “the honey category is on fire, which is great for the original honey, Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur,” says Laufer. Bärenjäger’s first-ever line extension, Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon, hit the market nationally in the spring of 2012. “Feedback to date has been exceptional,” she notes. Regional trends have often driven new products onto the scene. In Georgia and South Carolina, where he operates four stores, Lock Reddic, CEO of Green’s Discount Beverage, has been seeing an uptick in cordials and shooters, with brands like Dr. McGillicuddy’s Fireball growing fast enough to challenge Jägermeister. That category is showing great customer curiosity and robust sales in his stores. And then there’s pumpkin. Like seasonal beers brewed with the gourd, some retailers witness a boomlet each fall when pumpkin cordials and, recently, pumpkin creams like Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Cream Liqueur become available. It’s a sign that current drink technology and trends have combined to create a range of products for every palate and wallet. The days of the behemoth cordial brands may be on the way out, but an endless range of presentations, flavor combinations and styles is only beginning. ■

SPEAKEASY

Bacardi’s Robert Furniss-Roe Regional President, North America The Beverage Network sat down recently with Robert Furniss-Roe to discuss how the ever-expanding spirits market has become more challenging than ever.

ON INNOVATION THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: As Bacardi celebrates 150 years in business as an industry leader, where do you see opportunities going forward? ROBERT FURNISS-ROE: What characterizes us best is our very focused portfolio; we are not all things to all people. There are some categories in which we don’t play—and who knows, maybe one day we might. That said, the obvious opportunity would be American whiskey. However, if you look across the U.S. spirits market, the largest categories—from a growth perspective—are vodka, rum and tequila. We have very large positions in all three, as well as a very large position in Scotch. So we are in the right categories, and we are always looking to expand. And that’s why we supported the idea of taking on distribution of a new Cognac, for example, with newly launched D’Ussé. We’re all about substance. We don’t throw a hundred products against the wall every year. We try to be very fo-

cused; we try to be very deliberate, and we try to do it for the long term. When we go to the retailers—whether they’re in the on-premise or the off-premise—with a new product, the marketing package with it is complete. We’re not keen on just filling retailer shelves and then leaving them with the responsibility to see what’s going to work. Like everywhere in the world, one of the reasons people relate to good spirits brands is because it’s an affordable luxury. There will always be a place for quality. People are willing to pay for that, if it’s a notch above the average. TBN: There has been an explosion of new products and line extensions in general in recent years. How does Bacardi stay in front of the pack? RF-R: We support retailers by building brand equity for the long term and by encouraging trade-up. One of the things that should resonate with our friends in retail is that we believe in the long-term premiumization of the business, that it is important to encourage consumers to

be more connoisseurs. Also, we are very interested in sell-through, rather than sell-in. I think some of our competitors still talk the language of sell-in. I think it’s far more useful to look at consumer pull, and to put yourself in the shoes of the consumer. Our industry faces the challenge of how confusing we are to the consumer. We like to focus on helping consumers better navigate and understand our products on the shelf. TBN: Sometimes that is easier said than done. What sort of approaches are working for Bacardi? R F-R: It’s all about education. The world we live in is changing; consumers are better informed. It’s critical that the retailer keep up with the information flow because the consumer is likely to have done research prior to purchasing a product. We’re increasing our focus on point of decision and how to adapt our offer to different environments. We’re able to deliver different learning experiences according to what people are looking for.

A Conversation With Industry Professionals

IT’S CRITICAL THAT THE RETAILER KEEP UP WITH THE INFORMATION FLOW BECAUSE THE CONSUMER IS LIKELY TO HAVE DONE RESEARCH.

At the other end of the spectrum, a lot of what we do in the digital space involves short films that educate the consumer around the history and heritage of the brand. We’ve had an amazing response to the things we’ve done there like offering consumers vintage items (Tshirts, etc.) in exchange for which they view a film to gain a bit of brand knowledge/education.

ON FLAVOR TBN: Flavor variations have become an important source of growth for many categories, including rum. Bacardi was a pioneer in this regard, and most recently introduced Bacardi Wolf Berry and Black Razz. Where do you see flavored spirits heading? RF-R: Instead of launching flavors that people already know, we try to bring things that will appeal to the Millennial consumers who have been brought up in this environment of choice. They are more cosmopolitan, more connected than ever before. We go through a thought process: what are the combinations, the level of flavor and intensity of a product that will deliver the best finished drink to the consumer? Black Razz uses a particular fruit only grown in Mexico: sapote. The flavor is more subtle, more interesting because it’s a fusion, between fruit and exotic flavor. For our spiced rum, OakHeart, we

focused on the liquid, on trying to create spiced rum with a smokiness, from barrels that are over-charred to deliver that differentiating hint. As the leaders in the rum category, we had to come up with something that was proven to be preferred by more people. We’ve taken the idea of spiced rum to the next level. Grey Goose Cherry Noir was done with a huge amount of thought and care to stay true to the French origins of Grey Goose. It is important to develop a product that has the right balance that’s ideal for making a selection of drinks rather than having an overpowering flavoring element. Reaction to that has been fantastic so far.

ON DISTINCTIVE SPIRITS TBN: Bacardi is unveiling a new-tomarket Cognac, D’Ussé. Why the decision to take a position like that right now? RF-R: We fell in love with the brand. The rest of the category is about old royalty; D’Ussé is about new royalty. The Cognac category is a bit dusty, backward looking, not attentive to trade. D’Ussé has a fresh approach. It has Cognac credentials, but with a very different bottle and symbol. Amazing liquid, very sophisticated, refined, smooth. It won’t be pushed out everywhere, retailing for $50 a bottle.

TBN: With Cazadores and Corzo, Bacardi has an important stake in the tequila world. Do you see the superpremium segment decreasing or increasing in overall importance? RF-R: It is a large category, and still growing. Cazadores is all about authenticity, made in the highlands in a very quirky, old fashioned way. It represents the heart of the tradition of old Mexico. Those are our strengths—that sense of authenticity and that sense of craftsmanship. Corzo is more about sleekness, design, and its striking packaging. It’s an approachable liquid, more refined. Bottom line: the future for premium spirits is positive in the U.S.— no exception in the tequila business. TBN: Any other thoughts on what you think people are looking for in spirits? RF-R: There is a relentless pursuit of novelty, entertainment and new products. But, again, what we believe in is not innovating on the massive scale, but doing a few things really well and properly thought out. What people look for is solidity, substance, and value. There’s a reason why Bacardi has been around for 150 years. Bacardi is the “one bottle bar”—it’s made expressly to be a product that doesn’t dominate and doesn’t disappear. Enough body to bring the spirits feel but not too much flavor to overpower a cocktail. Our Light products are an example of innovation with a purpose: great taste with 95 calories a serving. It’s the brand you trust (Bacardi) coming out with the innovation you’re looking for: calorie control. Not a new idea but it’s been done in a good way. We are re-inventing the products to make them more natural and better-tasting. People have high expectations in that area of innovation—we want to be sure that we are delivering. ■

CORK STILL S T I L L TTHE H E TTOP O P STOPPER? STOPPER?

o uncork, or to unscrew? That is a question that continues to stir up waves in the wine industry. As cork taint prompted many winemakers to explore alternative closures in the 1990s, screwcaps and synthetic corks have became more widespread. The impact was certainly felt: Between 2000 and 2005, the global demand for wine corks dropped about 20%, according to a 2006 World Wildlife Fund report. But factors such as environmental impact, the aging of wine under screwcap, branding and consumer attitudes are reshaping the conversation, and the $4 billion closure market remains divided. Overall, cork still reigns. And according to Peter Weber of the Cork Quality Council, cork is on the rise. “We’ve seen a pretty solid increase in the percentage of cork finished wines in the ‘premium’ segment of domestic production. For us, that is wine brands averaging over $6,” he says. The council asserts sales for the 4-week period ending January 7, 2012, showed the highest percent of business mix in favor of cork closures seen during a two-year survey of sales by closure. The 2012 figure was 62%; over the same period in 2010 it was 53%. There are several levels of natural cork and the price depends on the

type of cork. Cork is recyclable and biodegradable as well as a renewable resource; the outer bark is stripped from cork oak trees and regenerates without damage to the tree. Cork taint, however, remains a problem. And while many factors can contribute to it, cork usually takes the blame. Sir George Fistonich, founder and owner of Villa Maria Estates in New Zealand, notes that their move to screwcap was directly related to cork taint. “The decision to seal all Villa Maria wines with screwcaps was made in 2001 as an estimated 1.4 billion bottles of wine globally were ruined by cork taint each year at the time; [it was] a risk to wine

quality that we were no longer prepared to tolerate,” he says. Perhaps even more significantly, Villa Maria had plenty of company in abandoning cork. The New Zealand Screwcap Wine Seal Initiative, launched in 2001, boasted 50+ members. Today, you’d be hard-pressed to find a corkfinished New Zealand wine in the U.S. Fistonich has had nothing but positive experiences with screwcaps, including aging. He says, “Numerous comparison tastings of aged wines sealed with screwcap versus cork highlighted the inconsistency of wines aging under cork, with oxidation and cork-taint being the main issues. Screwcaps remove these variables, ensuring consistency and quality of our wines.”

PLASTIC OPTIONS Synthetic cork producers also point to cork taint. “The average rate of cork taint is still around 3%,” says Jeff Slater, global director of marketing for Nomacorc. “The oxidation or reduction issue is another 3%, so that’s an almost 6% failure rate. What industry accepts a 6% failure rate?” Nomacorc, a synthetic

cork producer, accounts for more than half of the world’s synthetic closure market; as of May 2010 more than one in ten 750ml wine bottles sold worldwide were sealed with a Nomacorc. Started in 2000 by a Belgian entrepreneur and wine lover, the firm’s recyclable “corc” is made from a low-density LTDE plastic, used in milk cartons and dry cleaning bags. Ultimately Slater accepts that cork will remain the dominant closure. “People still like the romance and ceremony of opening the bottle,” he says. Glass stoppers are a newer entry to the closure arena. The glass stopper is sealed with resin and is recyclable, and the price is similar to a top-quality natural cork. While common in Germany and Austria, the 2003 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa was the first wine in the world to be sealed with the Alcoa Vino Seal (also known as Vino Lok), and the winery continues to use what they call “glass corks.” Calera Wine Co. of Hollister, CA, also uses the Vino Seal for some of their bottlings. One of the latest additions to the cork-alternative lineup is the Zork closure from Australia. Invented in 2002, the Zork is made of polyethylene and has a round top with a short stopper plunger that can be pulled out by hand, avoiding the need for a corkscrew. It’s 100 percent recyclable and reusable; the company also touts the “pop” that the closure gives off pawhen opened. The cost is comparable to screwcaps, according to the manufacturer, and the Zork can ing be applied using standard bottling ustequipment with some part adjustments. (The Zork SPK closure, for n sparkling wines, was released in 2010, but has not yet reached the U.S.) In 2009 Don Sebastiani & Sons of Sonoma, became the first American wine producer to use the Zork, for their

Project Paso wines, and in 2012 they will close about 3 million bottles of Project Paso and Pepperwood Grove wines with the Zork, according to Donny Sebastiani, president and CEO of Don Sebastiani & Sons. “The cost is more or less a push,” says Sebastiani. “The decision to move to Zork was based on offering unique benefits to the consumer, not on saving costs. It’s better than cork because first, there is no potential for cork taint; second, it’s easier to open and reseal; third, it does not require a corkscrew to open; and fourth, it doesn’t break or crumble.”

GREEN SIDE OF CORK One new aspect of the cork issue in the past five years is the green marketing movement. Environmental awareness among consumers has been growing and “green strategies” are common among corporations. As backlash against cork grew, the cork industry began an eco-friendly marketing campaign in 2010, funded by the Portuguese government, Portuguese Cork Council and the Cork Quality Council. In 2009 the Rainforest Alliance and Forest Stewardship Council began recognizing wineries that use cork from “responsibly managed” cork forests. But the environment doesn’t seem to be a major factor for winemakers, nor does cost. The cost of midrange natural corks and synthetics are relative relatively comparable, and screwcaps are less expensive than both after the initial investment in b a screwcap bottling machine, says di Co Dinn, director of winemaking for Hogue C Cellars in Washington State. For most, winemaker opinion an and marketing strategy are the deciding factors in choice oof closure. While most screwcap wines are designed to look just like cork-finished bottles, the new plastic Zork invites browsers to notice it.

Calling in the Scientists: PlumpJack teams with UC Davis to test closures in controlled study The PlumpJack Group and the University of California at Davis have announced the undertaking of an joint two-year study on the comparative effectiveness and quality of screwcap wine closures—the first of its kind since PlumpJack began using screwtops more than 10 years ago. “Our eager participation in this study reflects our commitment to creating premium wines that provide both a viable closure for long-term aging and quality retention, and greater accessibility for our customers,” said John Conover, general manager of PlumpJack and CADE wineries. “The results of the study will also provide our industry overall with valuable information as we look for ways to be more environmentally sustainable without sacrificing quality or John Conover of PlumpJack driving up costs.” All wine closure methods are designed to provide an airtight barrier to keep out oxygen, which can negatively affect aging and taste. The “Bottle Aging—Closure and Variability Study” will use scientific methods—including the new CT scanner invented by UC Davis researcher John Boone, which was used last fall to measure rates of density in natural and synthetic corks, using dedicated computed tomography. All three closure methods—natural ral corks, synthetic corks and screw caps—will be studied. The test batch h will be 200 bottles of 2011 CADE Sauuvignon Blanc. All bottles will be regu-larly monitored by spectral analysis for changes in color. Through the use of oxygen sensors placed inside, test bottles will be chemically analyzed on a regular basis for changes in composition and color. Lastly, the wines will be tasted to determine if the quality has been compromised. The results will be published at the end of 2013.

After facing problems with natural cork in the ’80s and ’90s, Hogue started using synthetic corks in 1997. However, says Dinn, “We found over time we saw premature aging, oxidation, and difficulty with extraction.” So in 2001 Hogue put together a study to compare cork and screwcap and tasted the wines for three years. “It became apparent that screwcaps were best for our wine, both red and whites,” says Dinn. Dinn has no regrets about Hogue’s decision to replace the synthetic corks with screwcaps beginning with the 2004 vintage. For Lisa Ehrlich, VP of marketing for Purple Wine Company in California, the closure decision is a mix of environmental and marketing considerations, and cork dominates. About 5 to 8 percent of their approximately 1 million case production is under screwcap and the remaining production is closed with natural cork. “The price/value ratio for cork is great and it seems like the corks we use are incredibly reliable,” says Ehrlich. “We get really good feedback from our trade customers. One of the key pieces is that our trade customers aren’t asking for synthetics. We tend to listen to distributors and key retailers and how things are workin for them.” But Ehrlich working would consider synthetic corks for cer certain brands. “If I had a project that I thought synthetics would work for—to do a color som or something fun—then I would request it,” she says.

MIXED RESULTS Consum Consumer attitude towards alternative closures is starting to ternati shift, as a well. A 2012 study by Merrill Research and Nomacorc of core wine consumers (defined as drin drinking one bottle per week,

and representing 93 percent of all wine purchases) showed a more open attitude toward other closures. The research showed that the type of closure is not driving their purchase; the difference in closure performance is not well understood; wines under screwcap are seen as cheap wine; and natural cork is seen as appropriate for a “special” wine. But the Cork Quality Council points to a 2011 study conducted by Sensory & Consumer Insights which found that when asked how likely they would be to purchase wine according to closure type, 94% of consumers surveyed indicated they would be more likely to purchase wine with a natural cork, 72% said they would purchase wines with a synthetic closure, and only 45% indicated a willingness to buy wines with screwcaps. It’s not just American producers confronting the pros and cons of various closures. The acceptance of screwcaps in Australia rivals that of New Zealand. Interestingly, Penfolds of Australia announced in May that they would offer a choice of cork or screwcap (previously their entire production except Grange was under screwcap), citing damaged wine being returned from export markets. While alternative closures are a welcome option for New World producers, many Old World wine regions remain committed to cork, and some are prohibited from using anything but. For example, by law, Italy’s DOC wines must be sealed with cork. One high-profile Burgundy producer to make a shift, Domaine Laroche, has bottled its Chablis wines for the U.S. market under screwcap since the 2003 vintage, and has been tracking aging variation of the wines.

ON/OFF ATTITUDES On-premise reaction to non-cork closures seems to depend on the type of customer being served. Elli Benchimol, beverage director for Chef Geoff’s, with four locations in the Washington, D.C. area, sees different reactions depending on restaurant location. “The D.C. customers are mostly students and theater-goers and are super open. We offer some very fun, eclectic by-the-glass offerings and I love screwcaps,” says Benchimol. “If I am choosing between two wines for my by-the-glass program of equal quality and price, I will take the screwcap over the cork closure in a second. It saves crucial time for my bartenders at the service bar and that’s a hospitality issue.” But at another location, with more sophisticated clients, Benchimol sees more resistance. “The baby-boomer generation, those approaching retirement, and those getting into wine as collectors still have the view that Stelvin closures mean that a wine is cheap,” she says. “It’s not the case, but it isn’t our job as sommeliers to correct them, but only to enlighten through tastings and special offerings.” Retailers are seeing mixed reactions to non-cork closures. For Jim Barr, retail wine specialist at K&L Wine Merchants in California, there is little customer pushback. K&L reaches over 500,000 customers in the U.S. “We are seeing a much more sophisticated clientele then the average wine and spirits store. But when closures like the screwcap and the glass stopper from Germany first started there was some questioning,” says Barr. “But the vast majority of the customers we sell wine to are totally accepting. In fact, they like the screwcap and are tired of bringing back corked wine.” Barr says corked wine is still “a major problem.” Dan Amatuzzi, wine director at EATaly in New York City, sees his customers asking about the various

closures. “We teach a lot of classes and that is definitely the most common question. People are curious about which closures are better or worse,” says Amatuzzi. “People are looking for answers and the problem is there are no answers.” EATaly collects and donates natural corks to local artists. “We like to bring awareness to cork and the environmental benefits of it,” says Amatuzzi. Bob Calamia, wine buyer for Binny’s Beverage Depot in Chicago, thinks acceptance of closures depends on the consumer. “No one comes in and asks for screwcaps; they either understand and accept it or they don’t,” says Calamia. “There is resistance to it in certain segments and with certain customers. For those that buy wine less frequently there is still the ‘cheap’ stigma.” Calamia adds that wines bought as a gift are almost always finished with cork. While the closure debate rages on, the science behind the closures and the marketing issues seem to be in constant battle. “A lot of producers are reluctant to risk their brand equity with something new and different,” says Purple Wine Company’s Ehrlich. This will ensure that the closure debate may continue for years to come while consumers get more educated or until the results of the wine studies—especially when it comes to aging wine—give more definitive answers. ■

TASTINGCORNER

Vineyards of Philippe Caharel in Savenièrres (left) and Louis-Marie Blanchard in Vouvray (right) both yield Chenin Blanc, but the grapes are made into wines of drastically different styles.

The Other Blanc Still Somewhat Obscure, Chenin Blanc has a Bright Future According to Diverse Advocates BY JIM CLARKE

There’s nothing newfangled about it, of course; the Loire Valley has been cultivating Chenin seriously since the 15th century (that’s right—the 15th). Today the region has over 5,400 acres of Chenin planted, and the grape is featured in no less than 25 separate appellations within the Loire Valley, the most recognized being Vouvray and Savennières. Those wines don’t necessarily build awareness of the grape in wine drinkers, though: “We do not produce ‘grape varietal’ wines in France,” says Evelyne de Pontbriand, winemaker at Domaine du Closel in Savennières.

“We produce ‘landscape taste’ wines with the most adapted tool—which is the local grape varietal. This is a totally different approach.” Even if the grape name isn’t getting through, the wines are: Loire Valley wines exports to the U.S. were up 43% in 2010 over 2009 (that does include wines made from other varieties; Chenin-only statistics are not available). “The quality is there, more and more,” de Pontbriand adds. “Loire Valley wines and Chenin Blanc in particular have never been so good, in general. So reliability is not the problem.”

Slippery Style But consistency—stylistic consistency— is. Loire Valley Chenin Blanc ranges from light-bodied to full, bone-dry to sweet, even sparkling (seven separate Loire appellations use Chenin in bubbly). In South Africa, some winemakers ferment and age it in oak barrels in a manner akin to Chardonnay. Ken Forrester, chairman of South Africa’s Chenin Blanc Association, says they are trying to develop an indication system similar to the International Riesling Foundation’s Sweetness Scale, which could help consumers understand in what style a Chenin was made in before they purchase it. Kiona has gone ahead and simply used the IRF scale, where their Chenin falls in the medium-dry category. Their Chenin ice wine—a unique dessert wine, as most dessert Chenins are botritized rather than naturally frozen—is fully sweet, though balanced by what Williams calls, “off-the-chart acidity.” And therein, he adds, lies

any people aren’t familiar with it,” says JJ Williams, sales manager for Kiona Vineyards and Winery in Washington. “If they taste it and don’t read the label, they think it’s Riesling.” In Santa Barbara, Foxen Winery co-owner Dick Doré calls it “one of the most underappreciated grapes out there.” It’s not Sauvignon Blanc. Not Pinot Blanc. It’s Chenin Blanc, and it’s making its case.

Chenin’s secret: it holds onto its acidity whether picked early or late. In all of its guises, Chenin Blanc also retains its identity as a very aromatic grape, often with floral or mineral notes alongside evident fruit. The fruit foundation is also the reason that even when vinified dry, the wine can trick tasters into perceiving it as sweet.

CHENIN’S SECRET: IT HOLDS ONTO ITS ACIDITY WHETHER PICKED EARLY OR LATE.

Fans Around the Globe South Africa is home to 53% of the world’s Chenin Blanc vineyards, even though acreage has been receding over the past ten years. Molly Choi, executive VP for sales & marketing at Cape Classics, a leading South African importer, has high hopes for the grape. “My ultimate goal is to have it rival Pinot Grigio, where consumers ask for it varietally. When explaining what it is, something that has always worked well is referring to it as ‘Pinot Grigio with muscles, in a hula skirt’—it’s similarly approachable and quaffable, but has more tropical elements and oomph.” Stellenbosch winemaker Bruwer Raats would like to see a little less stylistic variety. He faults some producers in the warmer regions for “picking it too ripe, trying too hard—too obvious, too big. It provides instant gratification in the market, but I’d like to see a bit more restraint, more finesse.” Nonetheless, he feels it should become the country’s signature variety, likening it to Malbec in Argentina.

Bruwer Raats is among many South African winegrowers who believe that Chenin Blanc should become the nation’s signature wine.

Identity Issues Stylistic range is not Chenin’s only challenge; it still has identity issues to deal with. Paumanok Vineyards on Long Island grows the state’s best-known (and, as of now, only) Chenin Blanc. Winemaker Kareem Massoud says that aside from wine geeks and professionals who are in the know, the average consumer who has heard of Chenin generally associates it with sweet jug wines from California’s Central Valley—a mainstay of the 1970s. “Chenin was a jug wine source for many years,” says Dick Doré, but a great deal of it was ripped out when Chardonnay became popular and commanded higher prices. Even today much of California’s 7,200 acres of Chenin Blanc is overcropped—yielding as much as nine tons per acre—and still goes into sweet blends. Foxen is one of a handful of Californians making a drier style; “We initially encountered a lot of market resistance and were told by retailers it’s a hand-sell,” says Doré, “but we’ve made a name for it gradually over the years.” Washington only has 207 acres of Chenin Blanc —one third what it had in 1993—but Williams says that while “most wineries don’t know how to sell it, those that

do make it sell the snot out of it.” Dry Creek Vineyard, which makes what is likely the best-distributed and most-awarded American Chenin Blanc, has been undaunted by the grape’s underdog status for 40 vintages. Winery president Kim Stare Wallace admits the wine (theirs is sourced in Clarksburg and labeled “Dry Chenin Blanc”) is still “somewhat of a handsell, but once someone tastes it, they are sold, as there simply isn’t a better white wine out there for the price.” She attributes their success to the fact that it’s not treated as a “poor man’s Chardonnay” at Dry Creek Vineyard; it has been made consistently in a crisp, Loire-inspired style, never barrel-aged or blended. She is optimistic about Chenin’s future: “Flavor-wise, it appeals to knowledgeable wine drinkers as well as novices, which is nice. Not too many wines can bridge that gap.”

Food Factor Chenin Blanc’s food-friendliness is a big help. Kareem Massoud’s father Charles calls it “a great island wine,” well suited to seafood, especially Long Island’s shellfish like oysters, clams or Peconic Bay mussels. “We have found an increased popularity in Japanese, Mexican and Chinese restaurants,” says Sarah Hwang, assistant director of sales and marketing at Domaine Huet, producer of Vouvray in dry, demi-sec and sweet styles. She credits this affinity to the wine’s racy acidity. Pontbriand notes that it is more than acid driving the wine: “I would add that Chenin Blanc has some bitterness in its flavors, and that bitterness has practically disappeared from our food and drinks except for tonic water and dark chocolate. However, it is coming back with some cocktails. It is going to be the fashionable taste of tomorrow.” ■
