John Rich, one of music’s most prolific songwriters/artists, TV host, and one-half of the super duo Big & Rich, announces his immediate departure from Eastside Distilling (EAST/NASDAQ) effective immediately.
John Rich states, "As a brand owner in the highly competitive whiskey space, I have never been more excited about moving all Redneck Riviera Whiskey production, bottling and business operations to Kentucky. It's in the heartland of America...and is the whiskey/bourbon capital of the world. This will allow me, as well as our new team, much greater oversight and to further capitalize on our incredible growth. It's a move that will benefit distributors, retail partners, and our patriotic customers. As always, we will continue to be 100% American Made... from the juice to the glass to the cork!!"
"I look forward to sharing more soon about my amazing new partners."
