After nearly doubling their distribution footprint in recent years, Bardstown Bourbon and Green River will continue their coast-to-coast expansion in 2025 with the addition of New Jersey and Washington.

In New Jersey, the brands will be distributed by the newly minted Garden State Premier Wholesalers, according to the company, while Columbia Distributing will represent the brands in Washington state.

“Bardstown exemplifies the supplier that aligns perfectly with our company culture and ambitions, plus they’re genuinely invested in working together to achieve success,” said Chris Steffanci, Columbia president and CEO, in a press release. “And the liquid? It’s exceptional! Incredible quality at an equally incredible price point. The response from accounts has been phenomenal so far—they all want it.”

Bardstown Bourbon and Green River further expansion

In the first half of 2025, the brands will launch in Kansas with LDF Companies and will expand on an existing footprint with RNDC, according to the company, entering Iowa, Oregon and Montana.

Bardstown Bourbon and Green River are nearing national distribution and will be available in 45 states by the end of 2025. The expansion in distribution comes on the heels of an organizational adjustment that added a third national division and the addition of Derek Sauls as Vice President of the newly formed Central Division, according to the company.

“At Bardstown Bourbon Co we are never standing still.  We’re investing in our people, our products and our partners and we are excited to enter these important states as we look to reach full national distribution in the years ahead,” said Scott Blazek, chief commercial officer, in the release. “We have found great partners here in Garden State Premier Wholesalers, Columbia Distributing and LDF, along with an expanded partnership with RNDC, that align with our organizational values and a shared commitment to our customers.”
