Today we’d like to introduce you to Derek Sisson.
Hi Derek, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Merica Bourbon was founded in 2017 after five years as a spirits distributor in the Houston market. We have been blessed in the first few years with only hard work and self-investment to reach 40 States and Walmart nationally.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There were quite a few struggles along the way being an independent brand without a large marketing budget. We relayed heavily on word of mouth, relationships within the industry, and the use of technology in the spirits space.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We are a farm-to-glass veteran-owned brand that believes in giving back and keeping our Bourbon at a value price with the highest quality.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
My passion for the business, giving back to others, and mentoring those who want to pursue this industry.
