US-based craft spirits manufacturer Eastside Distilling has expanded its Redneck Riviera Whiskey’s footprint across 856 Walmart locations in the US.

Eastside’s Redneck Riviera Whiskey will be now available at Walmart stores in locations that include California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Washington,  Nebraska,  Kentucky, Massachusetts, and New Mexico.

Beginning 2 June, the company will initially roll out two cases of 750ml Redneck Riviera Whiskey per store in each of the 856 stores.

Eastside Distilling president Robert Manfredonia said: “We are very excited to be working with Walmart stores across the US.

“We greatly appreciate their commitment to Redneck Riviera Whiskey and believe it is a natural fit for the Walmart customer across the US.”

The company further added that the new authorisation mandate from Walmart is in addition to its earlier distribution into more than 350 locations in the US.

Redneck Riviera Whiskey is the result of a joint collaboration between Eastside and John Rich, the country-music artist and one-half of the award-winning duo Big & Rich.

Launched in February last year, the original Redneck Riviera Whiskey is currently being distributed across the US.

The company has been producing craft spirits since 2008. Its portfolio includes Redneck Riviera Whiskey, Burnside Bourbon, West End American Whiskey, Goose Hollow Reserve, Below Deck Rums, Portland Potato Vodka, Hue-Hue Coffee Rum, and a distinctive line of fruit-infused spirits.

In March, Eastside Distilling released its Redneck Riviera Whiskey in a 1.75l bottle in select US states, including California, Texas, Florida, Georgia and Colorado.
