Louisville, Ky. (Jan 13, 2026) — Lofted Spirits, parent company of the award-winning Bardstown Bourbon and Green River Whiskey brands, will realign distribution in Texas and will now be represented by the Spirits League Inc., a group of owner-operated, multi-generational beer and spirits distributors covering the entire state of Texas.

"Lofted Spirits brands are continuing to deliver industry-leading growth and Texas is a key state for meeting our ambitions," said Scott Blazek, Chief Commercial Officer, Lofted Spirits. "The Spirits League offers the local brand-building intensity that our brands need while aligning with our core values of trust, collaboration, excellence and transparency."

The Spirits League is a non-profit organization that includes Andrews Distributing, Faust Distributing Company, Fisher 59, Giglio Distributing, GG Distributing, Houston Distributing Company, KEG 1 O'Neal, L&F Distributors and Reed Beverage, with Capital Reyes Distributing serving as an Associate Member.

"Our business model keeps us rooted in the unique, local communities we each serve," said David Holt, EVP Strategic Partnerships at Andrews and President for the Spirits League. "Texas is as big and as diverse as it comes – our approach ensures that partners like Lofted Spirits can reach retail customers and consumers at the community level, building a strong base for brand growth."

Bardstown Bourbon and Green River are among the fastest growing American whiskey brands in Premium+, recognized for their innovation, heritage, and quality.

"Our Lofted Spirits expansion strategy is not one-size-fits all. Our approach is designed to meet the specific needs of each individual market," said Blazek. "We're confident that the Spirits League understands our organization's unique value proposition and will add Texas-sized value to the business."

Lofted Spirits was previously represented in the state by RNDC.
