Our Story

Family and the distilling tradition are foundational for Clinch River Vodka

“I think it runs in our blood…”
Distilling has a long history in East Tennessee filled with folklore, legend, and some great tasting spirits.
So when brothers Nathan and Eric decided distilling a superior vodka was in their future, they looked to the past to find the best way to do old-fashioned distilling for a great tasting spirit.
Working with your hands to make a craft is a way of life in Southern Appalachia, and the same is true in creating a spirit worth sharing with the folks you love. So along with Nathan’s wife Pam and her triplet sister Pat, the family set out to craft a vodka they’d be proud to share.
What they made was the smoothest  vodka you’ll ever taste. Nathan smartly handed over distilling to Pam and Pat to make the world-class vodka you enjoy today.
Enlisting some long-time friends as partners, the crew set out to make an unrivaled vodka to add to the spirit tradition of East Tennessee.

Our process

Using local ingredients, we make every batch of Clinch River Vodka by hand

You can’t make a superior vodka without taking some time and going the extra mile, and you can’t make an East Tennessee spirit without local ingredients and a hometown process.
That’s why we use corn from our neighboring Loudon County and crystal clear locally sourced well water. It all comes together in distillery in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Made by Nathan’s wife and her triplet sister, our vodka is distilled eight times to ensure what you taste in your glass is truly the smoothest tasting vodka you’ll ever have.
You can trust what you’ll find in every bottle of Clinch River Vodka is naturally gluten free and made with the caring, devoted hands of true East Tennesseans.
