Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of producing a finished, aged distilled spirit, and a method of producing bottles of a distilled spirit that employ in-bottle finishing. In one embodiment, the method of producing a finished, aged distilled spirit includes: (1) placing an aged distilled spirit in a bottle, (2) placing a wood piece in the bottle, wherein the wood piece is used for in-bottle finishing of the aged distilled spirit and is rested in a non-alcoholic liquid before the placing of the wood piece, and (3) sealing the bottle, having located within the bottle both the aged distilled spirit and the wood piece.

Abstract: Enhancing a spirit by mixing in one or more other spirit during manufacturing is disclosed. The primary spirit, i.e., the spirit being enhanced, and the one or more additional spirits, i.e., the secondary spirits, can be a distilled spirit, a non-distilled spirit, an aged spirit, a finished spirit, a spirit that is neither aged nor finished, and any combination thereof. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method of producing a spirit enhanced spirit (SES). In one example, the method includes: (1) obtaining a primary spirit, (2) adding one or more secondary spirit to the primary spirit, wherein the one or more secondary spirit is a different type of spirit than the primary spirit, (3) placing the primary spirit and the one or more secondary spirit in a bottle, wherein combination of the primary spirit with the one or more secondary spirit produces a SES, and (4) sealing the bottle.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a process to create unique spirits by using another liquid besides water to cut or dilute a distilled spirit. The liquid used for cutting, referred to herein as a cutting liquid, can be used to obtain a desired proof. A distilled spirit that has been cut with a cutting liquid is referred to herein as a cut spirit. In one example, a method of manufacturing an alcoholic beverage includes: (1) obtaining a distilled spirit, (2) creating a cut spirit by reducing alcohol content of the distilled spirit using one or more cutting liquids instead of water, (3) placing the cut spirit in multiple bottles, and (4) sealing the multiple bottles.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of producing an enhanced spirit that uses an in-bottle enhancement request (IBER) as a basis for enhancing the flavor of the spirit. As such, other parties instead of spirit manufacturers can direct the production of an enhanced spirit according to flavor profiles of their choosing. In addition to a method, the disclosure also provides a computing system for receiving and processing an IBER, and a computer program product that automatically generates an order for an enhanced spirit based on an IBER. In one example, the method includes: (1) receiving an IBER, (2) placing at least one spirit in a bottle based on the IBER, (3) placing one or more products in the bottle based on the IBER, and (4) sealing the bottle, having located within the bottle both the at least one spirit and the one or more products.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of producing a spirit that uses one or more wood pieces in the bottle with the spirit to enhance the flavor of the spirit. Instead of placing a spirit in a wood cask or barrel for adding flavor, a spirit is placed in a bottle and at least one wood piece is also placed in the bottle during manufacturing for enhancing the flavor of the spirit. In one example a method of producing an enhanced spirit includes: (1) placing a spirit in a bottle, (2) placing two or more wood pieces in the bottle, and (3) sealing the bottle, having located within the bottle both the spirit and the two or more wood pieces. Various physical attributes and wood processing of the wood pieces placed in the bottles can be selected for different enhancing results.

Abstract: The disclosure provides in-bottle finishing bottle of a spirit. In one example, the in-bottle finishing bottle includes: (1) a bottle having an opening and containing a distilled spirit and a visible, wood piece in the distilled spirit, (2) a lid closing the opening, (3) a seal over the lid, and (4) a label, wherein the wood piece provides a finishing for the distilled spirit according to a flavor profile, and the label indicates the flavor profile.

Abstract: The disclosure provide a method of producing a finished, aged distilled spirit, a method of producing bottles of a distilled spirit that employ in-bottle finishing, and an in-bottle finishing bottle of distilled spirit. In one embodiment, the method of producing a finished, aged distilled spirit includes: (1) placing an aged distilled spirit in a bottle, (2) placing a wood piece in the bottle, wherein the wood piece is used for in-bottle finishing of the aged distilled spirit, and (3) sealing the bottle, having located within the bottle both the aged distilled spirit and the wood piece.
