About the offering

At Epec, we are pioneering what we believe to be the most innovative American whiskey since prohibition. James FC Hyde Sorgho Whiskey is a unique new whiskey, made from nature's miracle crop - gluten-free sorghum - with nearly limitless potential. It's so unique and innovative we had to invent a new whiskey category for it: Sorgho Whiskey. Working with America's sorghum growers as represented by the National Sorghum Producers, our intention is to elevate the popularity of our Sorgho Whiskey category to rival the popularity of bourbon and rye. First launched in 2016, we're gaining brand recognition, sales traction and momentum on the ground, all in keeping with our plan to take James FC Hyde Sorgho Whiskey national. We ended 2016 available in two states — New York and New Jersey — sold by about forty restaurants, bars and liquor stores. As we head toward the end of 2017, we're now available in eight states, Washington D.C. and on board the most luxurious cruise liners in the world — Seabourn. In all, we're sold by over two hundred finer establishments. Our most recent marketplace success? Attracting Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits ("SGW&S") to promote and distribute our whiskey in Nevada. SGW&S is the largest national distributor in the U.S., selling to 44 states and D.C. A December launch date with SGW&S is planned. Success in Nevada with SGW&S has the potential to expand our relationship into other states, a clear roadmap for taking James FC Hyde Sorgho Whiskey national. Our team is led by entrepreneur and Executive Chairman Steve Vanechanos and spirits-industry expert, world-renowned mixologist, and author Brian Van Flandern. They are both supported by a collection of seasoned Wall Street professionals, and public company executives. As Epec continues its adventure to turn James FC Hyde Sorgho Whiskey into a nationally recognized and highly valued brand, we are turning to StartEngine and equity crowdfunding. We wish to raise the capital necessary to continue to build up our inventory and to drive brand recognition, consumer awareness, and demand. Equally important, we endeavor to expand the pool of people — new investors and brand ambassadors and advocates — that are as passionate about our whiskey as we are.
