Rebecca Creek Distillery is set to expand its footprint in the US, having signed a distribution agreement with Republic National Distributing Company for more than 20 states by the end of next year.

Currently available in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico, Rebecca’s spirits will be made available in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington DC, and Indiana.

The company is also going ahead with plans to build a new $7.5m, 20,000ft² distillery to increase its current production capability to 500,000 cases per annum.

To be located in San Antonio, the facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

“The new distillery will feature an art gallery and museum, an events centre that will host concerts, and a recording studio.”

Rebecca Creek Distillery founder and CEO Steve Ison said: “We are lining up our distribution partners and strategically investing our resources to focus on the future, ensure long-term growth, and expand our national footprint.”

The new distillery will feature an art gallery and museum, an events centre that will host concerts, and a recording studio.

Rebecca Creek Distillery national marketing vice-president Matt Appleby said: “Our primary goal for the new distillery is to increase production, but the secondary goal is to allow visitors to experience and enjoy all that Rebecca Creek has to offer.”

The company’s portfolio of spirits includes Rebecca Creek Fine Texas Whiskey, Texas Ranger Whiskey, Enchanted Rock Vodka, and Enchanted Rock Peach Vodka.
