FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2024 / Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American:SBEV), a leading beverage company known for acquiring and growing early-stage brands to national and international prominence, is thrilled to announce that its Chocolate SALT Tequila brand has received its authorization from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB). This significant achievement allows Chocolate SALT Tequila to be available in nearly 600 fine wine and spirits stores across Pennsylvania starting in September.
The PLCB's mission is to responsibly sell wine and spirits as a retailer and wholesaler, regulate Pennsylvania's alcohol industry, promote alcohol education and social responsibility, and maximize financial returns for the benefit of all Pennsylvanians. Gaining authorization from the PLCB is a major achievement and the first step in the state for Splash Beverage Group and its growing portfolio.
Chocolate SALT Tequila, a premium 100% Blue Agave Tequila, is produced in the renowned agave growing region of Jalisco, Mexico. SALT Chocolate is a craft 80 proof / 40% ABV Tequila with infused rich mocha, dark chocolate, and subtle Himalayan Sea salt flavors. This unique blend sets it apart in the market and is expected to resonate strongly with Pennsylvania's discerning consumers.
"This authorization from the PLCB is a testament to the quality and appeal of our brand SALT Tequila," said Robert Nistico, CEO of Splash Beverage Group. "We are excited to bring this exceptional product to Pennsylvania's state operated fine wine and spirits stores. Our strategic approach to building a robust distribution network is proving effective, and this achievement aligns perfectly with our mission to scale our brands nationally and would have not been possible in the state without our new distributor relationship there with Johnson Brothers."
On the heels of strong June results for its beverage portfolio, Splash Beverage Group continues to build a comprehensive distribution network to access large retailers, restaurants, and venues, ensuring the scalability of its brands. The inclusion of Chocolate SALT Tequila in Pennsylvania's fine wine and spirits stores is another significant milestone forward in this strategy.
