Lazy Guy Distillery is located in the heart of downtown Kennesaw, just northwest of Atlanta. Kennesaw has deep historical roots dating back to General Sherman’s March to the Sea during the Civil War. Prominent for its railroad locomotive “The General” and its key location close to the capital of Georgia, Kennesaw is the perfect place to make whiskey, a practice that has been revered throughout American history.
The two buildings which comprise our distillery operations are just around the corner from the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive. Our office and distillery buildings date back to the 1800’s and have a rich heritage themselves. These historic buildings have witnessed many changes over the decades, just as whiskey making in America has witnessed change. From the Whiskey Rebellion in the late 1700’s to the Prohibition Era in the 1920’s, Whiskey has been a cornerstone of many American events and even served as a means of currency more than once in our country’s history.

Capturing flavors from regionally sourced grains Lazy Guy Distillery whiskey offers a taste that is truly unique. We don’t have a huge portfolio portfolio and prefer to focus on small-batch products that best reflect our brand and the passion of those who drink Bourbon and Rye whiskey.
With your first sip from any of the following unique cocktails, We’re sure you’ll agree that Lazy Guy Distillery spirits offer a taste that is unmatched by others. NOTE: Recipes on our website are NOT available in our tasting room. The reason is that due to GA law (August 2017) we can only serve samples/cocktails in our tasting room using spirits we make onsite. The recipes on this website contain other alcohol ingredients from other manufacturers. Our tasting room menu has far more offerings than what is listed on the website.
