Middle West Spirits, Ohio’s grain-to-glass distillery, said it expanded its distribution partnership with Independent Distributor Network to 15 states: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. IDN previously previously represented Middle West in Tennessee, Kansas and Michigan.
“We could not be more excited about our expanding partnership and distribution footprint with IDN,” said Victor Spotloe, vice president of branded sales at Middle West Spirits. “We’ve built an incredible relationship thus far with the IDN team and, strategically, it made sense to continue growing within their network. While we are certainly grateful to the access of services and solutions they provide, we are also thrilled to help grow their portfolio of brands, especially with our award-winning whiskies.”
The Middle West Spirits Company currently produces 15 grain-to-glass products, including its Straight Dark Pumpernickel Rye Whiskey, Michelone Reserve Bourbon, OYO vodkas, Vim & Petal gin, Bourbon Cream, and its newest Double Cask Collection. All products will be distributed through IDN.
“Middle West has multiple products that could possibly be some of the best whiskey I’ve had,” said Christian LeGuen, director of spirits at Favorite Brands, and an IDN member. “The deep amber and copper colors, the smoothness, and packaging are hard to beat, along with everyday whiskey price points. We are honored to represent Middle West in Texas and New Mexico.”
