Devils River Whiskey has announced that it is setting up the required corporate infrastructure to advance distribution across the US.

This latest expansion was made in response to the company’s growth and achievements last year, which included the delivery of more than 30,000 cases to 5,000 points of distribution across 12 states.

Devils River Whiskey president and co-founder Mike Cameron said: “Our goal is to be in more than 30 states by the end of 2019.

“Leading the aggressive expansion plan requires a strong team. We’re assembling a great group of the right men and women to get this done. We have divided the country into five regions and are proud of the talent that we’re bringing together to drive our market expansion.”

Recently, Devils River Whiskey strengthened its leadership team by appointing John Potts as its sales and marketing executive vice-president.

The company will be opening a distillery in San Antonio in October this year in anticipation of the expected growth.

It launched 90-proof Devils River Bourbon in 2017, which was later followed by 90-proof Devils River Rye and 117-proof Devils River Barrel Strength Bourbon.

Devils River Marketing senior vice-president Eric Hundelt said: “Our whiskies have been recognised as one of the best whiskies aged less than ten years according to some of the most prestigious whiskey competitions.

“We’re primed for success and ready to share Devils River Whiskey with even more of the country.”
