Decatur Distillery Ready to Release First Batch of Corn Whiskey
Decatur Metro | May 28, 2014Legislative hurdles? Jumped. Corn? Mashed. Here we go, via the Atlanta Business Chronicle…
Four years in the making, Independent Distilling Co. recently launched in a small warehouse on East College Avenue in Decatur, just a few steps from Blue Tarp Brewing.
So far, it’s been a love of labor for founders Michael Anderson, a fundraiser for Zoo Atlanta, and Tommy Williams, an entrepreneur with a background in franchising.
But now the pair is preparing to ship out its first batch of corn whiskey. It’s named Hellbender after an endangered Georgia salamander.
The team also plans to produce rye whiskey and rum.
