JERSEY CITY, N.J.-- Eric LeGrand Spirits, a New Jersey-based bourbon brand, announced its expansion to New York in a distribution partnership with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), one of the nation’s leading wholesale beverage alcohol distributors.
Starting today, Eric LeGrand Bourbon will become available in retail accounts in New York, allowing residents to enjoy a bourbon with a purpose. This distribution partnership with RNDC will help Eric LeGrand Bourbon reach a new audience through key retailers.
“We created the brand to help end the stigma that those with disabilities can’t enjoy the finer things in life,” said Eric LeGrand Bourbon Co-Founder, Eric LeGrand. “We’ve built a strong following in New Jersey, so expanding to New York was a big goal for our second year of business. To do this with our partners at RNDC is a big accomplishment and we can’t wait to see what the Empire State has in-store for us.”
The brand launched in March 2023 and is co-founded by Eric LeGrand, the former college football defensive tackle-turned-businessman and spirits entrepreneur Brian Axelrod. The expansion makes New York the third state where the brand is sold in-stores, it originally launched in New Jersey and Kentucky and is available DTC on ericlegrandwhiskey.com. They’ve made the promise to donate $5.20 of every case sold of Eric LeGrand Bourbon to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to help find a cure to paralysis.
Eric LeGrand Bourbon is now available in select liquor stores, bars, restaurants throughout New Jersey, New York and Kentucky with a suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750ML bottle. It’s also available online by visiting ericlegrandwhiskey.com.
