Inside the Production Behind ROCK’N Vodka & Bella Rio Bourbon

One of the most important factors in building a spirits company is production — the ability to consistently produce, age, and supply product as demand grows.

Through a joint venture with Kennay Farms Distilling, ROCK’N Vodka has access to a large-scale production facility designed to support both current operations and long-term growth across its portfolio, including ROCK’N Vodka and Bella Rio Bourbon.

A few highlights of the production infrastructure currently supporting the business:

• Joint venture distillery operations located in Rochelle, Illinois

• A large production floor built within a restored historic theater, designed to accommodate expanding production capacity

• A newly constructed rickhouse capable of storing up to 4,466 barrels, supporting multi-year bourbon aging strategies

• Daily production capacity of approximately 6–8 barrels of bourbon, allowing the company to build aging inventory over time

• Production infrastructure that supports any spirit type

• A dedicated bottling area and visitor bar space, creating both operational efficiency and additional revenue potential

In the spirits industry, inventory and production access are long-term assets. Aging bourbon, in particular, requires patience and planning, which makes production infrastructure especially important as Bella Rio Bourbon continues to grow alongside the broader platform.
