How Gerald Ross Agency Helps Oregon Businesses

Why Distilleries Need Specialized Insurance

Distilleries face unique risks that standard business insurance policies are not designed to address — including fire and explosion hazards from distillation, product liability for spirits, and liquor liability for tasting room operations. Gerald Ross Agency works with carriers that specialize in distillery coverage.

Fire and Explosion Risk

Distillation involves heating flammable alcohol vapors — creating a significant fire and explosion risk. Distilleries need specialized coverage that addresses this risk, including coverage for the distillation equipment and the building where distillation occurs.

Oregon Liquor Liability Requirements

Oregon requires businesses that sell or serve alcohol to carry liquor liability insurance. Distillery tasting rooms must have adequate liquor liability coverage. Gerald Ross Agency can help you find the right liquor liability coverage for your operation.

Spirits Inventory Coverage

Spirits aging in barrels represent a significant investment. Make sure your commercial property coverage adequately covers your spirits inventory — including spirits in barrels, tanks, and bottles. Gerald Ross Agency can help you determine the right coverage level for your inventory.
