What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Virginia ABC authorizes a distiller to operate a distillery store selling its own spirits. As part of that authorization, ABC requires the distiller to file a surety bond of at least $25,000, conditioned on the payment of all taxes and other monies due the Department.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Virginia ABC (the obligee). If a distillery store fails to remit the taxes and monies it owes, ABC can recover against the bond up to the penal sum.
ABC reviews the need for this bond annually and may waive the requirement for a distiller that has demonstrated financial responsibility. While it applies, we issue it at $300 flat, application collects no credit check — and if ABC waives it, you simply don't need to carry one.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
