Revelton Adds Four Midwest Family‑Owned Partners for Gin & Whiskey Distribution

Revelton Distilling Co. has announced a rollout through four family‑owned distributors in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin.
The plan moves beyond a simple partnership announcement; it seeks to place grain‑to‑glass spirits within the fast‑growing Midwest craft market.

Revelton’s timeline is April 1 in Nebraska, May 1 in Kansas and Missouri, and June 1 in Wisconsin. Each partner—Handcrafted Wines & Spirits (Nebraska), LDF Distributors (Kansas), Bommarito Wines & Spirits (Missouri) and Capitol‑Husting (Wisconsin)—shares the brand’s focus on quality, authenticity and long‑term growth.

Market data shows why this alignment matters. The U.S. craft distillery market was about $4.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at 9.8% annually through 2030. Growth depends on local players who can bring niche product stories into shelf space, so brands that have a clear grain‑to‑glass identity are positioned for success.

Revelton’s production flexibility is key. In 2025, Iowa lifted its production caps for local distillers, allowing Revelton to increase output and support the April‑through‑June rollout. The brand also sources 12,000 bushels of corn and 9,000 bushels of barley annually—a detail that appeals to ag‑centric consumers. With demand for flavored gin and honey‑infused spirits rising 14% year over year from 2023 to 2025, Mulberry Gin and Honey Whiskey should perform well with distributors familiar with their markets.

There are about 1,800 craft distilleries nationwide, with Midwest states averaging 40–60 each. In this crowded landscape, selective partnerships help brands move from shelf presence to active sales. Revelton’s alignment with family‑owned distributors who already serve retail chains and off‑premise venues supports a multi‑channel strategy that relies on established channels instead of creating new ones.

Operators can act now. Distributors that already carry grain‑to‑glass products could add Revelton’s Mulberry Gin and Honey Whiskey, relying on partners’ local knowledge to place them in retail and off‑premise locations. Bar managers might test the flavors on a rotating cocktail menu, using the brand’s authentic grain story as an engaging point for patrons who want locally rooted spirits.

With these new distribution partners, Revelton positions itself to capture growing flavored spirit demand and leverage its local grain sourcing advantage to secure shelf space in key Midwest markets.
