The Power Up ⎯ SN.02/EP.05
Propel Growth Through Legislation and Community Support
A team of passionate whiskey drinkers, Kris Tatum and Jeff Arnett, wanted to open up new opportunities for the alcohol industry and support the new distillers in the state. They went on to serve as President and Vice President of the Tennessee Distillers Guild to introduce new legislation. They eventually went on to found Company Distilling and to expand their involvement in the local community.
Kris shares on The Power Up podcast, “We’ll work specially with nonprofits. They’ll submit something and we’ll go through and work with them on a small scale to help them with their needs. And by virtue, introduce ourselves in the community and to be a part of that community.”

About Our Guest
Before Company Distilling, Kris Tatum was a key partner in working with legislators and others in the alcohol industry to ensure fair access to new opportunities while supporting all distillers in the state, large and small. After working with several other distillers, Kris became hooked on the idea of starting his own brand.
Kris was passionate about making drinks that you would share with your favorite guests, not wildly expensive bottles that would sit unopened for years. That’s when he partnered with his friend and colleague from the Tennessee Distillers Guild and in 2020 Company Distilling was born.
