I’m not a member of ADI but why is your system is asking me to renew my membership?
Distilleries that are not full members of ADI are saved in our database under our “DSP Map Only” member type. This is a free member type that offers no benefits other than being listed in our directory and having your distillery added to our online map. If you want to enter the ADI competition as a non-member you can renew your status as a “DSP Map Only” for free and then complete our online registration.

I used the password reset tool but why haven’t I received an email?
If you have requested a password reset and not received an automated response email, please contact our Competition Director Eric Zandona: eric@distilling.com
Can I have an employee enter our spirits?
Yes, but they must login using the username and password for the master account of the company before starting the registration process.
The registration form isn’t working correctly. What do I do?
Some browser extensions seem to interfere with a couple of the drop down menus during registration. Most often the simplest resolution is to open a “Guest” browser in Chrome, a “Safe Mode” browser in Firefox, or opening a browser you do not normally use.
I click next on the registration and I get an message that I cannot continue. What do I do?
If you get a message that you cannot continue to the next portion of the registration, make sure that you have filled out every required field. Any question or field with a red * must be answered before continuing on.
How should I package my spirits?
ADI & Preiss Imports highly recommends shipping bottles in foam, pulp, or corrugated bottle shippers, or using inflatable bottle bags. See Uline, Polar Tech, Spirited Shipper, and Inflatable Packaging for examples.
Boxes must not exceed 40lbs (18kg)
Box dimensions not to exceed 36”L x 24” W x 24”H (91.44cm x 60.96cm x 60.96cm)
All bottles must be packaged in such a way that they will absolutely not break.
All boxes must have the ADI Shipping Label
What is my DSP#?
Your Distilled Spirits Plant number is DSP followed by State abbreviation and a number i.e. DSP-ST-12345. Do not enter your permit number which is looks like ST-S-12345. For international distillers or bitters and vermouth producers who do not have a DSP enter 0000.
What is my TTB ID#?
This is a unique 14-digit number for each approved COLA. It can be found through the TTBs Public COLA Registryor in Box 1 of your printed COLA. If you do not have a COLA you will enter 0000.
