Zamora Company USA announced today that the organization has joined the Washington, DC-based Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) to strengthen the company’s advocacy efforts and help support a unified voice for the U.S. spirits industry, as well as joining Responsibility.org’s Craft Supporter Program to underscore the industry’s shared commitment to responsibility.

DISCUS is the premier national trade association for spirits distillers and marketers and serves as the industry’s top advocate in Washington and U.S. state capitols. The new partnership alignment will allow both organizations to share resources, expertise, and advocacy on critical matters that impact the spirits industry.

“As we continue to expand our portfolio and grow our business in the U.S., it’s crucial that we’re united with our industry partners to have our voices heard in Washington and state legislatures on issues that impact us all,” says Bill Corbett, CEO of Zamora Company USA. “We’re honored to be the newest member of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, an organization that for almost 50 years has proudly represented the interests of the U.S. spirits industry.”

Zamora Company USA, the U.S. division of Madrid-based Zamora Company, is a fully integrated luxury wine and spirits supplier. The company’s iconic spirits brands, including Licor 43, Martin Miller’s Gin, Double Cross Vodka, Yellow Rose Whiskey, Don Papa Rum, and Villa Massa Limoncello, are distributed nationally through an alignment with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits and other top wholesalers such as Horizon Beverage Group in the Northeast.
