$MVCO News: Metavesco and Local Choice Spirits Announce Joint Venture to Launch Limited Edition Bourbon Series CUMMING, GA, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metavesco, Inc. (OTC PINK:MVCO) is excited to announce the formation of a joint venture with award-winning Local Choice Spirits to launch a new limited-edition bourbon series at the historic Striped Pig Distillery, Charleston’s first distillery steeped in history back to 1838! The partnership follows an initial Letter of Intent for an acquisition, but market conditions in the over-the-counter (OTC) market have prompted a strategic shift toward this collaborative venture. In this joint initiative, Metavesco has purchased 8-year-old barreled aged bourbon from Local Choice Spirits, laying the foundation for a premium bourbon line that combines the expertise of both companies. Together, they will develop a unique brand concept, leveraging Local Choice Spirits' acclaimed production capabilities. Additionally, Local Choice Spirits will provide licensing and distribution, enabling swift and efficient entry into key markets. “We’re excited to shift gears and explore this new partnership with Local Choice Spirits,” said Ryan Schadel, CEO of Metavesco. “The opportunity to collaborate with such a respected name in the spirits industry allows us to introduce a high-quality product to our audience while capitalizing on Local Choice’s distribution expertise.” 👍️ 1

Boulevard Magazine Bruichladdich Distillery reimagines a greener future for a historic Scottish island: In the Scottish island of Islay, Bruichladdich Distillery Company Ltd. Distillery has been a beacon of the community for centuries. This remains as true as it was years ago. It connects Islay’s past to its present in many ways – employing much of the original 19th-century machinery it first had when it began in 1881 while simultaneously retrofitting greener solutions for a more sustainable future. As far as distilleries go, it’s become a centre of innovation in the whisky region. After all, it’s the first Scotch whisky and gin distillery in Europe to receive B Corp certification. This year, the brand retained the title once more. B Corp-certified companies are held to the highest standards for social and environmental performance. When Bruichladdich Distillery first obtained the recognition, it garnered an Impact Score of 83.2 points. Now, it has reached the three-digit mark. #sustainability #whisky #innovation #privateclients #privatewealth #dram #whiskylover #sustainablebusiness #sustainabilityleaders #luxury #ceo Megan Croall Anastasiya Lifshyts Ashley MacGregor Amy Brownlee Lynsey Forrest Emma Crawford https://lnkd.in/gMvncYUr MAXMEDIALAB

I'd like this to be true. I've seen mixed data on this. You need to have a really efficient system setup for this to become worth it. Retrieving, cleaning, and preparing used wine bottles is itself very energy intensive. The easiest and best first step is just lighter bottles. But if we can get those efficient systems in place to reuse, great.

Kingsbarns Distillery and Visitor Centre is making significant strides in boosting its output and reducing its environmental impact. Recently, it installed a new 20,000-litre washback, leading to a more than 40% increase in distillation output. Additionally, it is currently developing a heat recovery system to cut energy use. But that's not all - the distillery is also working on a large-scale warehousing complex in Glenrothes to store even more spirit each year and keep up with the growing demand for their Lowland single malts. It's great to see a company taking steps toward sustainability while expanding its business. #brokerofchoice #whisky #whiskyinsurance #distillery #distilleryinsurance #scotch #scotchwhisky #KingsbarnsDistillery #Sustainability #WhiskyIndustry #LowlandSingleMalts
