Sharptop Distilling Company sits on North Main Street in downtown Jasper, Georgia, bringing craft spirits to the foothills of the North Georgia mountains. Founded by husband and wife team Kevin and Lisa Liedel, this small-batch operation opened its doors in 2019 after years of planning and navigating local regulations. Kevin, a former engineer, dove deep into the science of distillation while Lisa handled the business side, turning their shared passion into a reality in this historic mountain town. The distillery produces bourbon, rye whiskey, and seasonal spirits in small batches using traditional methods combined with Kevin’s engineering precision. The space itself reflects the mountain character of Jasper, with exposed brick walls and industrial touches that give it an authentic, unpretentious feel. You’ll find locals mixing with tourists at the tasting bar, creating the kind of atmosphere where conversations flow as smoothly as the whiskey. The Liedels didn’t just want to make spirits—they wanted to create a gathering place that reflects the community spirit of small-town Georgia while producing genuinely good whiskey.
