Helping bold, premium brands find faster routes to market and expert compliance support.
CLEVELAND, OH — 10/29/2025 — Beverage Distributors has announced the launch of a new brokerage division exclusively focused on high-proof spirits, positioning the company as a category leader in premium and over-proof spirit representation across Ohio.
This new division is designed to give distillers of high-ABV products — including whiskey, rum, gin, and limited-release craft blends — a faster, compliance-first path to market. With the continued rise of premiumization and cocktail culture, Beverage Distributors’ brokerage brings specialized expertise to brands that need both regulatory guidance and access to key on- and off-premise accounts.
“High-proof spirits are a growing force in today’s market,” said Mike Conway, President at Beverage Distributors. “Producers are crafting incredible, complex products — but the regulatory and distribution landscape can be tough to navigate. Our new brokerage team makes that process seamless, helping these brands gain visibility and momentum quickly.”
