News Briefs for May 20, 2025<\/h2>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 20, 2025<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022Brothers Andy and Charlie Nelson resurrected their family distilling legacy by launching Belle Meade Bourbon<\/strong> in 2012 and opening Nelson\u2019s Green Brier Distillery in Nashville two years later. With Belle Meade and the flagship Nelson\u2019s Green Brier, the accolades piled up, and Constellation Brands took a minority stake in 2016, and then acquired majority control in 2019. A few years later, the brothers left the company and their namesake behind. But at the end of last year, they quietly regained the rights to Belle Meade, returning ownership to the family. Whisky Advocate has the full story.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022Breakthru Beverage Group<\/strong> has appointed Calen Wells as executive vice president, Minnesota, following the retirement of Derek Holmes. Wells has been with Breakthru for 20 years and most recently served as vice president of trade development in Nevada. He succeeds Holmes, who spent the last 17 years of a 35-year career with the company and according to Breakthru played a critical role in the 2022 Breakthru-JJ Taylor merger. Breakthru\u2019s Minnesota revenues are projected at just under $430 million this year, according to Shanken\u2019s Impact Newsletter.<\/p>\n

\u2022Shaw-Ross International is adding Smoke Wagon Bourbon<\/strong> to its portfolio. Shaw-Ross will handle national distribution of Smoke Wagon\u2019s four core Bourbon expressions: Straight ($30), Desert Colt ($40), Small Batch ($60), and Uncut Unfiltered ($80). The brand\u2019s signature style features high-rye mash bills, non-chill filtration, and a fruit-forward profile. Shaw-Ross says Smoke Wagon is positioned to grow across multiple price points within the portfolio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
