When we launched our crowdfunding campaign on Jan 4th, our offering page made it crystal clear of the potential opportunity our new relationship with Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits ("SGW&S") held.  Our offering page said, "SGW&S is the largest national distributor in the U.S., selling to 44 states and D.C...  Success in Nevada with SGW&S has the potential to expand our relationship into other states, a clear roadmap for taking James FC Hyde Sorgho Whiskey national."

Because of the potential that SGW&S in Nevada represented, we made it clear nurturing the SGW&S relationship was a priority.  In fact we said we would heap "special attention upon Nevada and our relationship with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits (“SGW&S”) and to the strategic imperative of success there".

Given "the strategic imperative of success" with SGW&S, in mid February we recruited spirit industry veteran and life long Las Vegas resident, Stephanie Scott to represent us on the ground, and to work closely with SGW&S.

We're pleased to report, with SGW&S's most recent reorder, SGW&S has now placed three reorders since Stephanie Scott joined the team.  Each order, being successively larger than the previous.  As we've said before, it's too early to spike the ball.  There's a lot of work left to do in Nevada with SGW&S, but the early market action is very encouraging, offering us plenty of reason for optimism.  Stay tuned...

With only 13 days and $90K in headroom remaining in our campaign, now's a good time to welcome our 452 new owners and to thank you for your continued support.  We owe much of our progress to your willingness to join us on our journey.  We look forward to a bright future together.
