13th Colony Distilleries Continues Rapid Distribution Growth

Award-winning Georgia-based craft distillery expands distribution into Northeast and Rocky Mountain Regions.

AMERICUS, Ga., April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- One of the fastest growing distilleries in Georgia, 13th Colony Distilleries has expanded into Connecticut and Colorado in early 2024, extending their distribution footprint into nine states stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast. 13th Colony's growing distribution footprint now includes Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia, and online through Seelbach's and Bourbon Outfitter.

"Our expansion west into Colorado in April quickly follows our growth into the Northeast in Connecticut last month," said Maxwell Darby, president of 13th Colony. "While our craft and limited edition whiskeys have driven awareness of our brand with bourbon aficionados, our mix of spirits at accessible price points, including vodka and gin, have driven exceptional growth for 13th Colony across the country."
