Tennessee Hills began with a passion for making quality liquor, founded on hard work and community—the rugged spirit. Stephen and Jessica Callahan are Washington County natives, and can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. The Callahan’s graduated from college with degrees in Biology and Chemistry, but decided a 9 to 5 in a white lab coat was not the end goal. Stephen’s heart lay in crafting spirits. The Callahan’s stopped at nothing to make their dreams a reality. They put in long hours, doing everything the business required, even making stills. The TN Hills Distillery opened in the historic Salt House of Jonesborough in 2016. As the distillery started to have success, Scott and Daphene Andrew walked through their doors. This entrepreneurial duo immediately saw the potential in TN Hills.
