InvestBev, a 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). The capital will be used to support the company’s ongoing expansion and related growth initiatives.
This transaction arrives at a pivotal moment for the bourbon sector, but the company continues backing high-potential operators and fueling the next phase of growth across the category.
“We feel very good about Mike Tetterton and what Registered Distillery One is doing,” Brian Rosen, General Partner at InvestBev, said in a news release. “At the root of our thesis is a simple belief: independent alcohol beverage brands deserve access to smart capital and strategic support. This agreement is a direct reflection of that mission.”
Tetterton, founder of Registered Distillery One, added, “We chose InvestBev Credit as the best solution for our company. They made the process easy and quick. InvestBev is a great partner for this stage of our growth.”
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. 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.
This latest agreement further underscores InvestBev’s commitment to fueling founder-led success across the three tiers of the alcohol beverage industry. Through a unique combination of equity, credit, insurance, and advisory solutions, the company delivers unmatched financial and strategic support to the brands shaping the future of the category.
