May 17 This morning the streets of downtown Weston were bustling with business owners, locals, and Fox 4 News crews. All of them gathered here for one thing: to celebrate Weston as a favorite weekend tourist town. Ingram’s Magazine recently voted Weston, Missouri best day trip in the KC metro. And if that…
April 23 It’s only Tuesday, and already it has been quite an eventful week! Easter Sunday came and went and Earth Day followed suit, Kyle pulled bourbon samples in preparation for tomorrow’s Shareholder’s meeting, and yesterday a brave soul wrangled a rowdy raccoon from the barrel warehouse before it caused any trouble. But…
April 16 Bustling restaurant patios and gaggles of girlfriends have made the declaration: It’s brunch season! And I must say, this is an exciting time to be alive. Brunch seems to create a magical rift in the health-conscious space and time continuum, where regular dietary restrictions no longer apply. I’m talkin’ bottomless mimosas,…

April 10 Oh, April Fool’s Day. A day that signals the start of spring. The first day of showers before flowers. And a day made for practical jokes and pranksters. Whether you subscribe to the elaborate schemes of April 1st or not, chances are you’re affected by the nonsensical holiday in one way or…

March 28 Tequila Rose has a way of bringing people together. Since the brand’s introduction in 1996, the community of Tequila Rose drinkers has expanded its roots and extended throughout generations. There are the nostalgic fans, those who remember their mothers and grandmothers sharing stories between sips of the strawberry cream liqueur. Then, there…
March 19 Happy 10,000th barrel day, everyone! Today marks Holladay’s 10,000th barrel. We’ve come so far since we returned to our bourbon-making roots four years ago, and I think the Holladay brothers would be proud of this milestone. Long ago, Ben Holladay and his brother, Major David, recognized the full potential of…
March 15 The other night, on a mission to tidy up my apartment, I went through a plastic tub of miscellaneous items I’d pushed back into the deepest corner of my storage space. In it, I found a scrapbook of early school memories: various papers collected from grade school, cards from relatives, photos and…

McCormick Distilling Co., Inc. is a distilled spirits company located in the United States, doing business in the domestic and certain foreign markets. We comply with federal, state, and foreign laws regarding labor practices wherever we operate.
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) (“Act”) seeks the elimination of slavery and human trafficking from product supply chains and requires that large companies who do business in California disclose their efforts toward the elimination of slavery and human trafficking. The information below relates to our efforts to comply with the Act.
1.) The vast majority of our suppliers are located in North America, principally in the United States, and in the European Union. To the best of our knowledge and belief, no supplier to our company, whether located within or without the United States, has ever been accused of engaging in forced labor or human trafficking.
2.) We reserve the right to audit our suppliers’ operations to ensure compliance with the Act. Currently, audits are not regularly performed by the company or an independent third party.
3.) Our purchase orders and supplier contracts will now contain an express representation that each supplier will comply fully with all applicable laws prohibiting human trafficking and slavery and that any violation of such laws is cause for immediate termination of our contracts and orders. We will terminate our contract with any supplier found to be in violation with our policy on human trafficking and slavery.
4.) To further our efforts to eradicate human trafficking and slavery from our supply chain, we have now asked suppliers to return a signed statement to us acknowledging that they support the elimination of forced labor and human trafficking.
5.) Our Employee Code of Conduct requires that company personnel try to ensure we work only with reputable suppliers. Employees annually affirm their compliance with our Employee Code of Conduct, but we have no formal training related to the issue.
Our Commitment
The United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 require companies to disclose their efforts to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in their supply chain. Modern slavery and human trafficking are the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labor or anyone held in slavery or servitude. As a responsible corporate citizen, McCormick Distilling Co., Inc. is committed to actions that will mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our business. In addition, we expect our vendors, suppliers, and contractors to have the same commitment.
Our Controls
McCormick Distilling Co., Inc. is committed to implementing and enforcing controls to prevent modern slavery in our business and in our supply chain. We have regular contact with our vendors, suppliers and contractors. Our contracts with vendors, suppliers and contractors require compliance with all applicable laws. If necessary, we will engage with third parties to assist us in evaluating our supply chain. Any concerns relating to noncompliance with this statement are investigated promptly and appropriate actions will be taken based on the findings of the investigation.
Our Training
We support our commitment and controls by providing training to our employees. The training is designed to create awareness around the problem of modern slavery and to help employees identify the sign of modern slavery in our supply chain.
