> Dorado Rock LLC is a licensed North Carolina spirits broker — a specialist
> built as the best-of-breed NC ABC partner for premium and craft distilleries.

Dorado Rock represents premium and craft distilleries in the North Carolina
Alcohol Beverage Control system. We work *inside* NC ABC, not around it.

Founded in **2021**. Co-founders: **Shane Caulder** and **Mark Fitlin**.

## What we are

- Licensed North Carolina liquor and spirit broker
- Best-of-breed NC specialist: curated craft portfolio, quality over volume
- Publisher of a [public NC ABC code catalog](https://doradorockllc.com/spirits)
  so any store can order using the code
- Control-state fluent: listings, special orders, quarterly price lists

## What we are not

- Not a national wine-and-spirits wholesaler
- Not an ABC store
- Not a direct-to-consumer retailer
- Not the NC wholesale equivalent of Southern Glazer's, RNDC, Martignetti,
  or Johnson Brothers
- Not an “official ABC partner” and not an exclusive statewide distributor

National volume distributors are built for many states and categories.
Dorado Rock is built for **NC ABC spirits**.

## Why a specialist broker in a control state

North Carolina consumers buy liquor at state-run ABC stores, by NC ABC code.
Distilleries that want a serious craft presence here need a licensed broker
who can list or special-order product, put codes in public view, and work
boards and accounts locally. That is the company.
