Townsend, Tennessee, Feb. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Since opening the doors of the Townsend distillery in July of 2022, Company Distilling has experienced steady and significant growth, evolving from a vision shared by industry veterans, Jeff Arnett and Kris Tatum. With multiple product releases, the acquisition of a distillery in historic Lynchburg, Tennessee, industry accolades, record-breaking visitor numbers, and expanded nationwide distribution, the company continues to build on its momentum.<\/p>\n

The brand was founded by a team of experienced distillers and entrepreneurs, including former Jack Daniel\u2019s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett, and Kris Tatum, with a shared passion for crafting premium spirits that bring people together. Over the years, Company Distilling has expanded its footprint across Tennessee and beyond, growing from a single-location operation into a multi-site destination with an increasing presence in stores and restaurants nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis journey has been incredible,\u201d Arnett said. \u201cWe started with the simple idea of creating great whiskey for people to enjoy together. Seeing how far we\u2019ve come\u2014from launching our first product to acquiring a distillery in one of Tennessee\u2019s most iconic whiskey towns\u2014is truly exciting. Every step has been about delivering exceptional quality, expanding access to our whiskey, and deepening our connection with the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustained Growth and Portfolio Expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since its launch, Company Distilling has introduced a range of premium spirits that reflect its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. The company\u2019s portfolio includes Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Maple Wood, Straight Rye Whiskey Finished with Cherry Wood, and Straight Tennessee Whiskey Finished with Apple Wood, among other limited-release expressions.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the company continued to elevate its portfolio with exclusive small-batch releases available only at its distillery locations in Townsend and Thompson\u2019s Station. These distillery-exclusive offerings provide visitors with a unique experience and an opportunity to taste products they won\u2019t find elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Expanding Distribution: Bringing Company Distilling to More Consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Company Distilling\u2019s distillery locations remain a draw for whiskey tourism, the brand has expanded its reach into retail stores, bars, and restaurants nationwide. The company has built strong relationships with distributors and partners, increasing the availability of its core products to whiskey enthusiasts who want to enjoy them at home or in their favorite establishments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want people to be able to enjoy Company Distilling whiskey no matter where they are,\u201d said Nathan Osborne, Founder and Director of Sales. \u201cExpanding our distribution means more people can find our products at their local liquor stores or order a pour at their favorite bar. It\u2019s a big step toward making our whiskey more accessible.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Acquisition of Distillery in Historic Lynchburg Expands Production Capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most significant milestones in Company Distilling\u2019s expansion was the acquisition of a distillery in historic Lynchburg, Tennessee. Recognized worldwide as a hub for whiskey production, Lynchburg is a fitting home for the next phase of Company Distilling\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acquisition strengthens our production capacity and allows us to deepen our roots in Tennessee whiskey country,\u201d Arnett said. \u201cLynchburg has a rich history, and we\u2019re honored to be a part of it. This move not only helps us meet increasing demand but also allows us to continue innovating while preserving the traditions of Tennessee whiskey-making.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new facility enhances the brand\u2019s ability to scale production while ensuring that every bottle maintains the high quality and craftsmanship that has defined Company Distilling since its inception.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Company Distilling has earned multiple industry accolades that reinforce its reputation for excellence. The brand\u2019s flagship spirits<\/a> have been recognized across some of the most prestigious competitions in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Distinct Tasting Experiences at Two Tennessee Locations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Company Distilling welcomes guests to experience its award-winning spirits at two distillery locations in Tennessee, offering unique settings and tasting opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe designed our distilleries to be places where people can gather, learn about our process, and enjoy great whiskey,\u201d Tatum said. \u201cSeeing the number of visitors grow yearly proves that people are excited about what we\u2019re doing. It\u2019s not just about making whiskey\u2014it\u2019s about creating a memorable experience for our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Thompson\u2019s Station distillery<\/strong><\/a>, located just outside Franklin and 45 minutes from downtown Nashville, operates in a restored building once used by local farmers to store grain before transport by rail. The location features a production area, retail shop, and bar offering portfolio tastings and a signature cocktail menu. Guests can relax indoors or on the outdoor porch, and pets are welcome in outdoor areas. Reservations are not required.<\/p>\n

The Townsend distillery<\/strong><\/a>, the company\u2019s first newly constructed facility, sits on 13.5 acres along the Little River, adjacent to the Townsend Greenway and near the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is approximately 25 miles from Gatlinburg\/Pigeon Forge and 30 miles from Knoxville. The location includes a production area, retail shop, and bar with portfolio tastings and a cocktail menu. Guests can enjoy indoor seating or the outdoor patio, which features yard games and occasional live programming.<\/p>\n

Both locations reflect Company Distilling\u2019s commitment to providing a relaxed, welcoming environment for guests to gather and enjoy premium whiskey and cocktails.<\/p>\n

Gather Around Giving: Supporting Our Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to its commitment to whiskey-making, Company Distilling has made giving back an essential part of its mission. Through its \u201cGather Around Giving\u201d initiative, the company supports local charities, community organizations, and events that align with its values: craftsmanship, camaraderie, and hospitality.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the beginning, we\u2019ve believed that good whiskey brings people together, including giving back to the communities that support us,\u201d Arnett said. \u201c\u2018Gather Around Giving\u2019 is our way of making a difference, whether through financial contributions, volunteer work, or special fundraising events.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, Company Distilling partnered with non-profits nationwide to support initiatives that make a meaningful impact. These efforts reflect the company\u2019s dedication to growing as a business and enriching the communities it serves.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead: Continued Growth in 2025 and Beyond<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Company Distilling looks to the future, it is focused on maintaining its upward trajectory. The company plans to expand, introduce new products, and engage more with whiskey lovers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way, but we\u2019re just getting started,\u201d Tatum said. \u201cFrom launching new expressions to growing our presence in key markets, we\u2019re committed to building on our success and sharing our whiskey with more people than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a strong foundation built on quality, innovation, and community, Company Distilling is poised for another year of significant growth, ensuring its products continue bringing people together for years.<\/p>\n
