Milestone Brands Celebrates One Year Anniversary with Growth

AUSTIN, Texas, July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Milestone Brands LLC, recently formed in early 2016, continues to achieve growth objectives with Dulce Vida Spirits and American Born Whiskey. Within 12 months, Dulce Vida tequila has successfully surpassed the 35,000 nine-liter case mark and increased by 300%.  

"The tequila category outlook is very strong. We feel Dulce Vida will play a significant role in the future growth of the category," says Eric Dopkins, founder and CEO of Milestone Brands LLC. "We're proud of the growth that Dulce Vida has already achieved since our acquisition, and are thrilled to continue our standards of quality, organic, handcrafted products. Plus, our addition of all-natural infused flavors." 

Dopkins speaks to the newest addition of Dulce Vida Lime and Grapefruit, which uses real fruit infusion for a unique low-carb and low-calorie alternative that is Margarita or Paloma-ready with a splash of sparkling soda. However, Dulce Vida's traditional Blanco is the brand's driving force, making up over 65% of sales.

American Born has also approached a milestone mark, already exceeding 25,000 nine-liter cases since its March 2017 debut of the new bourbon and flavored whiskey roll out including American Born Bourbon Whiskey, American Born Apple Whiskey and American Born Peach Whiskey.

Both Dulce Vida Spirits and American Born Whiskey continue to gain momentum, as the innovative liquids roll out across 25 states in the U.S. Milestone Brands LLC has focused production on the 750ml size and plans to progress with additional sizes in the latter of 2017.
