Leiper’s Fork Distillery is a small batch whiskey distillery located in Williamson County Tennessee. Since filling our first barrel in the Spring of 2016, our goal has been to resurrect the lost art of small batch whiskey production that was prevalent in the hills of middle Tennessee from its earliest founding. Traditionally, Tennessee has been counted among the four main whiskey making regions of the world, along with Scotland, Ireland and Kentucky. We are proud of this heritage and aim to carry on this tradition in the fine whiskeys we produce.

Leiper’s Fork Distillery is characterized primarily by a low volume, low impact concept of production. This scale allows us greater attention to detail in order to create our signature premium spirits. Our whiskeys are 100% Mashed, Fermented, Distilled, Aged and Bottled by our own hands to our own specifications. Producing only 25,000 gallons of whiskey annually, we are truly a genuine small batch distillery.
