San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 30, 2015 -- J. Gary Shansby, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Tequila Partida, LLC (http://www.partidatequila.com), today announced a sales and distribution partnership with Blackheath Beverage Group, LLC (http://www.bhbeverage.com), consolidating their sales organization with the existing Blackheath team.

“I’m extremely excited with this partnership opportunity, which substantially expands Partida’s geographic depth, range and coverage,” said Mr. Shansby. “We’ll also be launching aggressive new marketing programs that will be rolled out this spring and continue throughout 2015 and beyond, setting the foundation for accelerated growth for years to come.”
Mr. Shansby added, “The marketing will feature our authenticity, proud Mexican heritage, and unique, award-winning Partida brand characteristics. The combination of a much larger sales organization and powerful and unique marketing programs will vastly increase awareness of Tequila Partida and expand consumer recruitment and loyalty.”
2014 was Tequila Partida’s best year to date with sales increasing over 30%.
“With this new partnership, we expect another excellent growth year in 2015 and over the next several years. Our fine tequila is becoming better known among consumers and industry leaders as one of the truly outstanding ultra-premium tequila brands in the world today,” continued Mr. Shansby.
“We are thrilled to have Tequila Partida join the select premium brands we represent,” added Jay Harkins, CEO, Blackheath Beverage Group. “We’ve known and respected this brand for many years as one of the very best tequilas on the market; Partida is a new jewel within our portfolio. Our salespeople are excited for this opportunity and by the significant expansion from the addition of Gary’s team. We’re looking forward to being an instrumental part of the huge growth that Partida will experience in 2015 and beyond.”
