This episode is dedicated to the Green Beret Foundation and Special Forces Foundation. We knew this was important to Andy, so it made it important to us. Go check out both pages and go donate to these uncommon warriors and their families. 

This past week we traveled to Tennessee. When looking for a location to host the recording of country music artist Ryan Weaver (Episode 13), we called around to several places and kept getting turned down. We ended up on the phone with Andy Lang of Leatherwood Distillery. In good fashion it turned out Andy and Ryan knew each other. I started looking up the distillery and its story and found out that Andy deserved his own podcast episode. And so Episode 14 was born. A U.S. Army Green Beret who served his country for 26 years, 16 years of which were served in the elite special forces unit. When you walk into this awesome distillery it is covered in memorabilia commemorating those that serve and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Sitting at the bar you can’t help but think of all the incredible stories each piece hanging on the wall could tell. Andy is a warrior’s warrior and this is easily felt upon meeting him and his staff. 

Then the booze started to flow and let me tell you, his stuff is freaking awesome. Trust us, between the two day’s of hanging out at the distillery, we tried it all, from the bourbon, rye to his awesome tequila. Andy has built his business with the warrior mindset and has instilled this into every aspect of his brand. From his entire distillery burning down, only a short few months ago, to rebuilding it with the help of the veteran community, Andy is staying true to his warrior way. It was an honor to sit and drink with such and uncommon warrior. I encourage you all to check out the Leatherwood Distillery, a distillery built by warriors for warriors.

I encourage all of you to listen to this awesome episode and hear how a Green Beret who once made booze from skittles, bread and an MRE is making incredible whiskey to share with his community. Everything this man does is with the purpose of supporting those around him and the veteran community. 

Tune into Episode 14 with Andy Lang of Leatherwood Distillery. To all of his staff and the awesome people we met. Thank you for opening your doors and having drinks with us. We learned so much from everyone and can’t wait to come back soon.
