RNDC, Edrington Strike National Partnership

Republic National Distributing Co. (RNDC) and Edrington Americas have aligned on a new national distribution deal effective April 1. Under the agreement, the Edrington portfolio will be exclusive with RNDC in 40 markets across the U.S.

Tilted toward the high end of the spirits market, Edrington’s range includes The Macallan, Highland Park and The Glenrothes in the single malt Scotch category, Naked Malt in the blended malt category, The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky, Brugal rum from the Dominican Republic, Noble Oak Bourbon and Wyoming Whiskey in the American Whiskey category, and No.3 London Dry Gin.

Edrington had global sales of $1.4 billion in its latest fiscal year through last March, driven by The Macallan, which is among the leaders in the U.S. single malt segment with volume of approximately 240,000 cases, according to Impact Databank. The Famous Grouse and Brugal are both above 100,000 cases stateside.—Daniel Marsteller
