TTB has made a significant change to fill height regulations – one that most distilleries will find positive. They eliminated the distinction between bottles and cans, and added thirteen new authorized fill sizes!
Allowable Fill Heights, Prior to January 10th, 2025:
| 1.8 Liters | Bottles Only |
| 1.75 Liters | Bottles Only |
| 1 Liter | Bottles Only |
| 900 mL | Bottles Only |
| 750 mL | Bottles Only |
| 720 mL | Bottles Only |
| 700 mL | Bottles Only |
| 375 mL | Bottles Only |
| 355 mL (~12 oz) | Cans Only |
| 200 mL | Bottles or Cans |
| 100 mL | Bottles or Cans |
| 50 mL | Bottles or Cans |
And here’s the updated list – all the fill heights shown below are now acceptable for both Bottles and Cans. Newly added fill heights in bold, and aluminum can standard sizes have been identified (in oz terms) for your convenience:
| 3.75 Liters |
| 3 Liters |
| 2 Liters |
| 1.8 Liters |
| 1.75 Liters |
| 1.5 Liters |
| 1 Liter |
| 945 mL |
| 900 mL |
| 750 mL |
| 720 mL |
| 710 mL |
| 700 mL |
| 570 mL (19.2 oz) |
| 500 mL |
| 475 mL (16 oz) |
| 375 mL |
| 355 mL (12 oz) |
| 350 mL |
| 331 mL (11.25 oz) |
| 250 mL (8.4oz / 8.5 oz) |
| 200 mL (6.75 oz) |
| 187 mL |
| 100 mL |
| 50 mL |
Not only can a distillery now legally fill many different aluminum can sizes, but also several glass bottles (e.g. 11.25 or 12oz beer bottle with crown cap) are now allowable where they were formerly forbidden.
