of 52 states for distilleries

all permits in New York

A Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) permit authorizes producing, bottling, or warehousing spirits. DSP holders operate under a federal bond covering excise tax on every proof gallon, a heavier compliance load than other classes, which is why distilleries are the smallest of the four groups (5,590 nationwide).

Note: this business's name suggests a winery operation, but its TTB record on file classifies this specific permit as a Distillery -- a business can legally hold more than one permit class (for example, a winery producing brandy to fortify wine needs a separate Distilled Spirits Plant permit). This page reflects the permit class TTB assigned to permit number NY-S-20217 specifically, which may not be the business's primary product line.
