Eric LeGrand Whiskey, a New Jersey-based bourbon brand, announced its expansion to New York in a distribution partnership with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC).
Eric LeGrand Bourbon will become available in retail accounts in New York, allowing residents to enjoy a bourbon with a purpose. This distribution partnership with RNDC will help Eric LeGrand Whiskey reach a new audience through key retailers.
“We created the brand to help end the stigma that those with disabilities can’t enjoy the finer things in life,” said Eric LeGrand Whiskey co-founder, Eric LeGrand. “We’ve built a strong following in New Jersey, so expanding to New York was a big goal for our second year of business. To do this with our partners at RNDC is a big accomplishment and we can’t wait to see what the Empire State has in-store for us.”
The brand launched in March 2023 and is co-founded by Eric LeGrand, the former college football defensive tackle-turned-businessman and spirits entrepreneur Brian Axelrod. The expansion makes New York the third state where the brand is sold in-stores, it originally launched in New Jersey and Kentucky and is available DTC on ericlegrandwhiskey.com. They’ve made the promise to donate $5.20 of every case sold of Eric LeGrand Bourbon to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to help find a cure to paralysis.
Eric LeGrand Whiskey is now available in select liquor stores, bars, restaurants throughout New Jersey, New York and Kentucky with a suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750ML bottle. It’s also available online by visiting ericlegrandwhiskey.com.
