Simple Man Distillery opened its doors in Cumming, Georgia in 2018, bringing craft bourbon and rye to the foothills of the North Georgia mountains. Founded by a group of friends who shared a passion for quality spirits, the distillery operates out of a modern facility on Vision Drive, where they’ve built their operation from the ground up with careful attention to traditional distilling methods. The name itself reflects their philosophy—keeping things straightforward and focused on the fundamentals of good whiskey making. You’ll find them producing bourbon, rye whiskey, and vodka using locally sourced grains when possible, with their spirits aged in new charred oak barrels right on site. The team takes a hands-on approach to every aspect of production, from mashing and fermentation to distillation and aging, ensuring each batch meets their standards before it ever reaches a bottle. They’ve carved out a niche in Georgia’s growing craft spirits scene by focusing on quality over quantity, producing small batches that allow them to maintain consistency and character in every bottle.
