2017 Craft Spirits Data Project - Distillers Survey

Greetings,

As a valued member of the craft spirits community, we want your input to update a structured analysis of the craft distilling industry, that we first conducted last year.  The American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) teamed up with Park Street and the International Wine and Spirits Research (IWSR) to analyze the market from the distillers’ perspective.

The data collected again will be treated confidentially, with special care being given to only release information in the aggregate.  There will be no disclosure or release of information that would in any way be attributable to any one distillery.  Your response will be kept confidential and released only as a part of the larger survey results. Each survey is very important and will help to ensure accuracy and credibility of the overall results. Therefore, we need your help.

The findings of this study again will be presented as an economic briefing to the media with the details of that release available on the ACSA website. We know your time is valuable so for completing this survey, you also will be given a category specific report from the IWSR which contains important consumption data trends and analysis for the US market.

Our main goal is to represent the growing craft spirits industry and its impact on our economy. This data is essential, as we already know it will help us with our legislative fights, both on the federal and state levels.  The data will also prove helpful for the members of the media as they continue to understand and learn about our business sector.

Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. If you feel others in your DSP would be better prepared to answer, please share it with them. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

ACSA has hand selected our partners for this initiative. Park Street specializes in providing back end office and financial solutions for the alcohol beverage industry.  The IWSR is the world’s leading wine and spirits data source, having established itself over 40 years ago and now operates in over 150 markets worldwide

Can you afford to not be a part of this project? Please complete your survey no later than two weeks upon receipt. Thank you in advance for your anticipated reply.  Please note, before beginning this survey, you may wish to have access to sales information from 2016.

Cheers –
ACSA, Park Street & IWSR
