Building a legacy
A question we are frequently asked is “Of all of the businesses you could choose to go into business together on, why would you choose a distillery?”
One word….Legacy!
In 2012 Jill’s dad died unexpectedly. He was a moonshiner and when she thinks about him, she can vividly remember the joy in his face when he was able to share his moonshine with others. Jill remembers his laugh when he would recount a story about how one of his friends or neighbors stopped by just to say hello and they got into the moonshine, and how the quick visit would turn into hours of laughing and storytelling.
When we think about our brand, we think about that…..the best memories, the most epic times that just happen when you come together with your favorite people in life. No plans turning into wild nights of nonstop laughing.
After many unsuccessful idea attempts, Annie threw out the idea of spirits making because of how much she admires Bethenny Frankel and her successful spirits company. That was it. We were sold.
Our first batch was called the Legacy batch. If you have a bottle of ours check on the back for a number…..we hand numbered them. We still have some that we haven’t distributed yet so keep looking! That’s special. That’s Legacy.
Thank you for being a part of this with us.

The vodka that brings the good vibes and great stories is BACK at the Decatur Elks Lodge! Best Friends Vodka has officially returned to the shelves—and we’re raising a glass to the members who’ve had our back since day one.
This crew doesn’t just sip—they support, and we appreciate you more than words (or even cocktails) can say.
So next time you’re at the Lodge, make it a Best Friends kind of night. Smooth, local, and made to share—just like the best memories.
Cheers to loyalty, laughter, and legendary pours. You all are the real MVPs.
