Deep in Appalachian Mountain country, Two Trees Distilling creates fine spirits, aged sustainably. The true art of our craft spirits lives within the balance between the finest quality grains, pristine Appalachian Mountain water and the full-bodied perfection from our toasted wood varieties. Our wood is carefully selected to pair with a specific grain and toasted to just the right char bringing rich flavor profiles and a hint of smoke. Our process is our recipe.

Two Trees Distilling is the distillery of choice that produces or bottles Tim Smith Spirits from the Discovery Channel "Moonshiners" & "Moonshiners Master Distillers" series fame.

If it's a Sunday and you couldn't make it to the liquor store on Saturday, we have you covered! Stop by Two Trees Distilling for your favorite bottle of spirits.
