A Distillery Audit Is a Proactive Investment, Not a Reactive Response
TTB compliance examinations can surface record-keeping gaps, label discrepancies, formula issues, and trade practice violations that result in assessments, penalties, and license risk. Malkin Law, P.A., has conducted distillery audits for nationally recognized spirits producers and emerging craft distillers alike. We know what regulators look for because we’ve been through the process with clients across the country.
A compliance audit with our firm is confidential, attorney-client privileged, and designed to surface issues you can address on your own terms.

Pre-M&A Distillery Audits
If you’re buying or selling a distillery, winery, or brewery, a compliance audit is a critical component of due diligence.
