InvestBev, which is the largest private equity firm focused on the adult beverage industry and CPG, announced the closing of an eight-figure financing agreement with Registered Distillery One (RD1), a respected name in the bourbon industry.
This deal arrives at a pivotal moment for the bourbon sector. And while other investors pause, InvestBev continues to lead, backing high-potential operators and fueling the next phase of growth across the category.
InvestBev Credit – the firm’s private credit arm, has already deployed nearly $30 million in 2025 – helping distilleries, barrel owners, and brand operators unlock the trapped value of their aging inventory. And with favorable credit terms and a deep understanding of the distillate and barrel space, InvestBev Credit has emerged as a vital financial partner—seen by many in the industry as a savior during a time when traditional lending sources remain rigid or inaccessible.
