Who We Are

B.R. Distilling Co. Story
World-class whiskey from the heart of Memphis, TN.
At B.R. Distilling Co., we focus solely on crafting, aging, bottling, and distributing the finest whiskey possible. Our products can be found in fine liquor stores, restaurants, and bars across 17 states. Held by the current owners of B.R. Distilling Co. since 2018, DSP TN 21021 was licensed in 2014, making it the oldest distillery license in the city of Memphis, operating out of ~110k sq/ft of production and storage space in Memphis.
 
Better location means better bourbon.
Whiskey lovers know how critical temperature variations are in aging whiskey. Located just north of downtown Memphis, B.R. Distilling Co. is outside of the "heat island effect" many urban areas experience. Our warehouses sit just east of the Mississippi River and south of the Wolf River in our own micro-climate, with high humidity and higher average temperatures than Kentucky. It all adds up to the perfect place to age our whiskeys.
 
Local whiskey with global partnerships.
B.R. Distilling Co. has shipped barrels to more than 125 distilled spirits plants as well as bottled for celebrity and influencer-backed brands. We’ve also worked with some of the largest liquor brokers and publicly held spirits companies in the world.

Our Culture

We are a true team that believes a combination of hard work and the love of what we do births success on a large scale. We are trustworthy, timely, and dedicated to producing world-class whiskey from our hometown of Memphis, TN. We don't believe in the phrase, "That's not my job," but instead work as one supportive unit to continue to build and grow markets throughout the U.S. and beyond. Our craft is our passion, and our team is our family.
