Big news from Leatherwood Distillery! Our veteran-owned and operated distillery in Clarksville, TN, has been awarded the Gold Medal for Best Bourbon by The Fifty Best! With spirits crafted to perfection and available nationwide and online, Leatherwood is proving why it’s a true powerhouse in the world of craft distilling.

Thanks to a wonderful partnership with Lee's Discount Liquors in Las Vegas, Leatherwood Spirits are now available in the greater Las Vegas area! To celebrate, Leatherwood Distillery hosted a fan meet & greet at Lee's Discount Liquors on November 1 with NHRA Top Fuel Drivers Tony Schumacher and Ida Zetterström, of JCM Racing.
Leatherwood Distillery is a proud sponsor of Tony Schumacher's 2024 Top Fuel Dragster, giving Leatherwood Distillery national coverage each weekend through FOX Sports, social media, and various media outlets.

In a dynamic showing at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois, Leatherwood Distillery and Michael Waltrip Brewing Company made a triumphant mark this September. Driver Tony Schumacher piloted the Leatherwood Distillery/Michael Waltrip Brewing Company Top Fuel car to victory, securing his 8th NHRA Top Fuel title. Schumacher’s win not only brought pride to his team, the JCM Crew, but also provided Leatherwood Distillery with significant national exposure, spotlighting the brand across a wide audience.

Leatherwood Distillery was awarded the title of 'Best Distillery' during the 2024 Best of Clarksville event, held at Governor’s Square Mall. This annual celebration brings together the community to recognize Clarksville's top businesses and service providers. Proceeds from the event benefit local charities, showcasing the community spirit and the exceptional businesses like Leatherwood that contribute to Clarksville’s vibrant local economy.

Now, through Veteran's Day, Leatherwood Distillery is proud to donate a dollar to support and outreach groups that support military families and veterans. We are proud to be veteran owned & operated and are committed to supporting the military with pledged support to A Soldier's Child Foundation and Brothers Keeper Veteran Foundation. Thank you for your support in helping us finance the fight!

The partnership of Leatherwood Distillery and Michael Waltrip Brewing Company was a winning combo at Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway early in June. Tony Schumacher, who was inducted as a Legend of Bristol Dragway Thunder Valley's hall of fame last year, drove the Leatherwood Distillery/Michael Waltrip Brewing Company Top Fuel car to victory, clinching his 87th NHRA Top Fuel win. Congratulations to Tony and the JCM Crew, when Tony wins, we all win!

Grunt Style a national nonprofit organization committed to providing life changing resources and experiences to allow Service Members, Veterans, and their Families to thrive, has just announced a new partnership with Leatherwood Distillery, and we couldn't be more excited about it! Stay tuned for an exclusive online Leatherwood x Grunt Style bourbon release coming later this fall. As Grunt Style puts it, 'You do not have to be a veteran to wear Grunt Style, but you do have to love freedom, bacon, and whiskey.' We have a feeling this is going to be a great fit.

Leatherwood Distillery recently welcomed the Sodexo Food & Beverage Team from Clarksville's F&M Bank Arena for an exclusive private tour and tasting. We have begun strategic discussions to explore product rollout opportunities in middle TN and beyond. Exciting times lie ahead with this promising partnership!
