Three Rifles Distilling Co. — Local services in Clarksville

Three Rifles Distilling, the only licensed distillery in Clarksville, TN, had their grand opening today. They had live bands, food trucks, and professional bartenders on site. They are in the basement of the downtown location of Star Spangled Brewing, at 614 N. Spring St, just off Riverside Drive. This also makes the site a "brewstillery."

They will be producing canned cocktails in the future, but already have a few spirits available, all with great American Sprit names. My favorite was the Independence Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey, which is the only true four grain whiskey made by a small craft distiller. The Bourbon is young, at 3 years, but very smooth. There is a little ethanol on the front and finish, but it is rich in between with some caramel and vanilla carrying the weight and a little light spice hiding in the corners. I recommend that you give it a try.

The Constitution Rum is a very clean white rum that has just a touch of sweetness but would not be out of place in any cocktail that calls for a white spirit. The Revolutionary Rye gives you everything you would expect in a 100% rye whiskey, but is tame enough to have a clean finish without the jaw clenching burn that is common with so many ryes.

Go and support a local company that has high hopes, strong patriotism, and a nice choice of spirits....

A Bad Drink does NOT exist here! The owners are phenomenal, real down to earth hosts. They absolutely make you feel like you are family. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone. Sean and Candice will have a drink with you, sit and talk with you and of course share a lot of laughs with you. Yes, there are plenty of other distilleries in the area, but not a single one of the combines everything mentioned above. Once you've been here, you might be a little upset with yourself that you wasted precious time going anywhere else. But, it's ok. You are here now and a part of a great family. As a bonus, you also get the best brewery in town, Star Spangled Brewery and Monster Cones Campfire Grill. If you have ever had In N Out, then you're going to love their new 3/4lb burger 🍔. I could go on and on, but what you really need to do is just go here, and never go anywhere...

We were thrilled to finally get the announcement for the re-opening of our favorite distillery here in Clarksville. We patiently waited all summer for them to move into their new location, and WOW was it worth it. At TRDco you will find amazing cocktails, a really cool vibe, and even better people! Candace and Sean are both wonderful humans who pour into (pun intended!) others and their community. Drop in for a drink and a conversation with some really good folks. You'll be...
