Lazy Guy Distillery

LazyGuySign-120x75-v2In 2013, the City of Kennesaw welcomed one of a very small number of craft whiskey distilleries in Metro Atlanta. Bottling and distributing its first small batch in 2014, Lazy Guy Distillery is a young company but a rising star that’s on the fast track to becoming the area’s favorite brand.

Owner Mark Allen is passionate about Lazy Guy’s award-winning spirits made from his own hand-crafted recipes through processes he has perfected himself. Part mad scientist, part culinary genius, he is always happy to share his modern take on this age-old industry.

Located at the edge of historic downtown Kennesaw and backed up to the railroad tracks, the barn (circa 1800s) provides the perfect backdrop for an interesting and informative tour of the distillation process. Visitors can also purchase and consume hand-crafted cocktails onsite or buy bottled spirits to take home.

Many of Lazy Guy’s spirits carry names that are relevant to the area including Kennesaw Lightning, The General, 5th Article 1887 (a Rye lazy guy green photoWhiskey) and Sidetrack Bourbon. Other spirits in the portfolio include Threesome Whiskey and Cold Heart Whiskey and distillery exclusives like Atlanta Gin, Lotoko and Snow Cream Liqueur.
