Decatur, GA — A local distilling company is moving to a new location in the city of Decatur.

Independent Distilling is moving from 731 E College Avenue to 547 E. College Avenue.

“The location is a combination of three buildings and a courtyard that includes a tasting room, barrelhouse, and production building,” a press release from the company says. “The three buildings encircle a Cocktail Garden that will offer outdoor seating and a bar. Independent Distilling will continue to provide tours, cocktails, bottle sales, and hosting events at the new facility.”

Owner and Distiller Michael Anderson said the company is growing.

“We are excited to be able to expand our operation here in Decatur,” Anderson said. “It will give us a chance to grow and continue to make our award-winning handcrafted spirits.”

Independent Distilling Company was established in 2014 and produces small-batch spirits like Hellbender Bourbon, Hellbender Rye, Independent White Rum, Independent Barrel Aged Rum, and special releases and collaborations with local producers, the press release says.

“The laws have changed significantly since we first opened eight years ago regarding what we’re able to do as spirits producers, and this new location will give us better visibility and allow us to share our spirits and passion for making them with more people,” Anderson said.

According to the press release, Independent Distilling Company offers bottle sales, tours, tastings, and cocktails Thursday and Friday 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. www.Independentdistilling.com
