Consumers and other businesses are encouraged to purchase Drake’s Organic Hand Sanitizer by visiting eachouncecounts.com.  For every ounce purchased, Drake’s will make a donation of an ounce to frontline workers fighting COVID-19.

“This is the time to step up as businesses, as neighbors and as citizens to fight COVID-19,” said Mark Anderson, founder/CEO of Drake’s Organic Spirits.  “That’s why we have converted our entire Drake’s Organic Spiked Ice capacity to the production of hand sanitizer.  We’ll focus on our spirits when this is over.  Right now, we’re focused on doing our part to save lives.”

The conversion also allows Drake’s to continue to provide jobs during the economic downturn.

First responders, medical facilities, managed care facilities and other organizations on the front lines of the crisis can visit eachouncecounts.com for details on how to apply for a donation of Drake’s hand sanitizer.

Drake’s has the ability to produce up to 20 million 2 oz. packets per month in their Las Vegas and New Orleans facilities.   The Minnesota-based manufacturer of premium organic vodka and rum converted packaging for its Spiked Ice freeze-and-eat adult treats into convenient individual use pouches of hand sanitizer.

Drake’s is following the guidelines provided by the US Food & Drug Administration and World Health Organization for the production of hand sanitizers.  Each pack includes six (6) 2 oz.  eco pouches designed to be easily opened and used to refill an existing hand sanitizer dispenser, soap pump, or spray bottle. A single eco pouch contains enough product to sanitize hands on average 59 times.

Michter's and Philip Duff Donate $10,000 to COVID-19 Relief Campaign of the USBG National Charity Foundation

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 19, 2020In these uncertain times, Michter's Distillery and Philip Duff want to support the bartenders and hospitality workers who have always supported them, so they have made a joint donation of $10,000 to the COVID-19 Relief Campaign of the United States Bartenders' Guild charity, the USBG National Charity Foundation.

Matt Magliocco, Vice President of Michter's, commented: "Amid this unimaginable situation, we are partnering with our friend Philip Duff to support the lifeblood of the beverage industry – hospitality professionals.  Philip recently did some consulting work for Martí Auténtico, a rum brand owned by our parent company, Chatham Imports.  With America's bars and restaurants now closing suddenly, Philip graciously suggested donating his fee towards the USBG's critically important Bartender Emergency Assistance Program.  We naturally agreed on the spot and have made this donation jointly.  We hope this small gesture will make a difference to the USBG Foundation's vital work to help our many mutual friends in the hospitality business.  We're both committed to supporting the industry for as long as this crisis continues."

Founded in 2014, the USBG National Charity Foundation advances the lifelong stability and wellbeing of service industry professionals through education & charitable programs.  The USBG National Charity Foundation is raising funds for the COVID-19 Relief Campaign in order to bolster its Bartender Emergency Assistance Program for the influx of applications from professionals impacted by the closure of bars, restaurants, and venues.  Donations can be made here, and beverage industry professionals in need of financial assistance can apply for aid grants at this link.

"We are here to help those in our industry who are most in need and are thankful to our partners for stepping up and pledging their support. We know that many members of our close-knit bartending community will not be able to earn their regular income during the coming weeks," said Aaron Gregory Smith, Executive Director of the United States Bartenders' Guild. "Bartenders and other hospitality professionals are an important part of the fabric of our communities, and we are asking that everyone – from spirits brands to individuals – join us in donating to serve the individuals who serve us."

Duff, a New York-based spirits consultant and educator, previously waived his and his wife Elayne's consulting fees from Edrington in exchange for a $10,000 donation to the USBG Foundation in late 2019.  His own brand, Old Duff Genever, has a built-in $1-per-bottle donation to charities directly benefitting bartenders, including the USBG Foundation and The Benevolent, a similar hospitality charity and support network in the UK.

KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY Shifting Some Whiskey Production to Hand Sanitizer for First Responders


(Honolulu, Hawaii, March 19, 2019) – This week Oahu-based KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY (makers of Old Pali Road Whiskey) made the decision to shift production to begin supplying hand sanitizer for critical services. KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY has the capability to legally distill alcohol and will shift production towards producing the base for hand sanitizer that will be provided free of charge to first responders, health workers, and essential civil service personnel. 
“We realized that we are in the unique position to be able to help our community in this way; we are able to both make Old Pali Road whiskey AND produce hand sanitizer that meets WHO standards so that we can help our greater ‘ohana through this unprecedented situation,” KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY CEO Eric Dill said. 
Inspired by mainland distilleries who are doing the same, the distillery's effort is amplified even further by Hawaii's dependence upon imports, especially during this crisis. According to Hawaii Department of Transportation, approximately 80% of all goods that are consumed by Hawaii’s residents and visitors are imported.
Dill anticipates providing a product as early as March 25, 2020. Kōkua Sun Care has also stepped up to assist with the initiative by donating empty bottles for some of the sanitizer.
“We are proud to see our local businesses stepping up to protect the community. Adding the production of hand sanitizer to KO'OLAU's operations is the right thing to do,” said Lieutenant Governor Josh Green, a practicing physician.
KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY is based in Kailua, Hawaii where they produce a Old Pali Road, a high-quality whiskey that has been rated one of the 15 best craft whiskeys under $60 in America.

About Koolau Distillery:
Ko‘olau Distillery is the longtime dream and vision of close friends and U.S. Marine Corps veterans LtCol Eric Dill and LtCol Ian Brooks, who teamed up with 15-year beverage professional Heather Pence to produce Old Pali Road Whiskey.
Located in the foothills of the legendary Ko‘olau Mountains, the distillery blends the naturally volcanic-rock-filtered, alkaline water with the finest ingredients to produce pure whiskey, one bottle at a time. Rated one of the Top 15 Best Crafted Whiskey’s Under $60 by VinePair.  Book Ko‘olau Distillery tours or order a bottle for delivery to your home at https://www.koolaudistillery.com/ or call (808) 261-0685.
