Craft spirits maker Eastside Distilling has announced that its Redneck Riviera Whiskey will be available at Total Wine & More stores in Florida and Texas, US.

Established in 1991, Total Wine & More is a US-based independent retailer of fine wine and spirits. It operates 182 stores in 22 US States.

Eastside Distilling chairman and CEO Grover Wickersham said: “Total’s Texas and Florida stores have already placed their initial orders for Redneck Riviera Whiskey and are stocking up, so we hope to see an immediate contribution to our Texas and Florida case sales.

“Florida and Texas are large-population states that are key for us and are key for Total.”

“I consider this to be a big win for Robert Manfredonia, our vice-president of national accounts, because Total is considered a tough nut to crack this early in a brand’s evolution.

“Florida and Texas are large-population states that are key for us and are key for Total. Most people in the industry consider Total to be a preeminent US retailer and their footprint complements that of other top retailers that are our other key accounts in Florida and Texas.”

Redneck Riviera Whiskey is a small batch beverage that offers vanilla honey tastes with a subtle finish.

Crafted by the distilling team at Eastside, Redneck Riviera Whiskey is now distributed in states, including Texas, California, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida.
