Shortbarrel Bourbon

Atlanta-based Shortbarrel is one of the fastest-growing independently owned craft spirits brands in the Southeast, founded in 2020 when friends Adam Dorfman, Clinton Dugan and Patrick Lemmond turned their love of whiskey into much more than a passion project. The company consists of two core businesses: Shortbarrel is an award-winning, nationally available American Whiskey brand; and Old Fourth Distillery, which was acquired in 2023, is a legendary, hyper-local brand featuring white spirits and specialty whiskeys with a true hometown flare. The company is built on a simple belief: the future of American Whiskey belongs to brands that blend authenticity, transparency and relentless innovation with real, measurable performance. Shortbarrel and Old Fourth Distillery products are available in 48 states through ecommerce at utilizing one of the most sophisticated DTC operations in the spirits industry. Products may be found on retail shelves in Georgia (Empire), Kentucky (Kentucky Eagle), Florida (Green Light), Tennessee (Advintage) and Texas (Green Light).
