Leiper's Fork Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey

Leiper’s Fork is found in the rolling hills of Williamson County, Tennessee, a little south of Nashville. Founded by Lee Kennedy, it’s an independent, family-run operation that’s quietly fuelling a revival. In 2009, Kennedy and others successfully campaigned to overturn laws restricting distillation to just 3 counties in Tennessee, opening the door for a new wave of whiskey-making in a further 41 Tennessee counties!

Since 2016, Leiper’s Fork’s been on a mission to resurrect the small-batch, pot-distilled whiskeys that once flourished in Middle Tennessee before Prohibition. Made the slow way – with a sweet mash rather than sour, and lower barrel entry strengths. This one’s 4-5 years old, made with 70% corn, 15% rye, and 15% malted barley, and as a ‘Tennessee whiskey’ was sugar maple charcoal filtered before aging (they also make bourbon and rye).
