First Quarter&nbsp;2019 Orders Are Over 225% of Q1 2018 April&nbsp;11, 2019 - Our 2019 order pace remains torrid as we&nbsp;close the books on the first quarter of 2019. Distribution orders for Q1 2019 were over 225% of Q1&nbsp;2018 and Q1 2019 order volume exceeded order volume for&nbsp;the first three quarters of 2018. Growth was fueled by a surge in four major markets: California, Texas, New&nbsp;York and New Jersey. We're optimistic the growth of our&nbsp;order volume is evidence of market acceptance of our revolutionary "whiskey like no other" over a broad and&nbsp;diverse area of America.We&nbsp;continue to operate with our focus on two strategic&nbsp;planks.Continuing to drive exponential sales growth by entering&nbsp;new markets and expanding growth within markets; andContinuing to rely&nbsp;upon our community of owners / investors, who have done&nbsp;a remarkable&nbsp;job of supporting our effort. Whether it's providing&nbsp;financial support through crowd funding; sales support&nbsp;through purchases of Sorgho Whiskey; or spreading&nbsp;consumer awareness through advocacy and promotion.Our&nbsp;owners / investors have been&nbsp;an important part of our success to date. For that we&nbsp;are grateful and hopeful we can continue to count on our&nbsp;owners to be active supporting contributors to the&nbsp;effort.Heading Toward Finish Line on Beta Test of New IRA&nbsp;&nbsp;Funding Method Wefunder&nbsp;has began a "rolling closing" on our behalf. Completing&nbsp;the closing will officially close the loop on the&nbsp;complete IRA funding transaction cycle - the finish line our Beta Test has been striving toward. While the Beta&nbsp;Test hit some bumps in the road - not unexpectedly I&nbsp;might add&nbsp;(which is why we do them) - we believe none of the&nbsp;issues will stand in the way of expanding our outreach&nbsp;to a larger community of potential IRA investors.We&nbsp;are strong supporters of the idea of allocating a responsible portion of&nbsp;"patient" IRA&nbsp;risk capital to invest in "patience required" Reg CF offerings.&nbsp; &nbsp;And we believe as the idea spreads, it will grow in&nbsp;popularity and more and more investors will allocate a&nbsp;slice of their IRA to these kind of investments. We&nbsp;believe this is a game changing event for Crowd funding. A reminder&nbsp;to investors and potential investors - we've received&nbsp;commitments for over $75,000 so far and only the first&nbsp;$100,000 invested will receive our Early Bird discount.&nbsp; There is less than $25,000 remaining.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;See our Offering page for details of our Offering and the Early Bird discount. Please&nbsp;invest within your means.&nbsp;
