Memphis, TN (June 22, 2026) – B.R. Distilling, parent company of Blue Note Bourbon™, the award-winning whiskey portfolio artfully crafted to honor the rich blues music synonymous with Memphis, has broadened its distribution into Indiana and Nebraska, selecting Vino Indiana and Quench Fine Wines, respectively. B.R. Distilling also selected Heritage Wine & Spirits as its new distributor in Kentucky.

“Choosing the right distribution partners is one of the most important decisions a growing whiskey brand can make,” said Dan Jurkovic, National Sales Director, B.R. Distilling Co. “As consumer demand for Blue Note Bourbon increases, we’re excited to welcome these three new distribution partners to our network. Their market expertise, strong retail relationships, and shared commitment to building premium spirits brands will help us expand our reach while ensuring more consumers have access to our award-winning portfolio. We look forward to working together to accelerate growth in these key markets.”

Blue Note’s whiskey portfolio is distilled in Kentucky and then aged just north of downtown Memphis, where the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers collide. The long summers filled with infamous Memphis heat and cooler evenings force the whiskey deep into the oak, creating an unmistakably rich flavor that’s bold yet smooth. The award-winning portfolio includes the flagship Juke Joint ($34.99), Toasted (formerly known as Crossroads) ($44.99), Uncut ($49.99), and Straight Rye Whiskey ($34.99) expressions. At the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Juke Joint and Crossroads were awarded Platinum medals, a rare honor meaning that each expression has received Double Gold medals for three consecutive years. In recent years, Blue Note has also introduced several other highly awarded limited-release offerings, which include Premium Small Batch, Single Barrel Reserve, Special Reserve, 17-year, and a Honey Rye and Honey Bourbon Cask.

About B.R. Distilling Company

Founded in 2014 in Memphis, TN, B.R. Distilling Company is the oldest licensed distillery in Memphis, TN, and producer of world-famous Blue Note Bourbon. Currently, the company produces five flagship expressions, along with regular limited releases, which are distributed across the following U.S. states: AL, AR, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MS, MO, NE, NJ, NY, OK, RI, SC, TN, TX, Washington, DC and WI, as well as online at BlueNoteBourbon.com via Bevstack, which can be shipped to: AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, ME, MN, MO, MT, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY.
