Our Spirits

  • We handcraft Leather & Oak’s whiskey in small batches from copper stills - just like our grandad’s did it. We’re proudly farm-to-bottle, using the finest grains Ohio has to offer, and closely monitor every step in the process to ensure the highest quality. The result is just how we like it: smooth and rich, with comforting notes of vanilla, caramel and oak. So kick off your boots and try it yourself.

  • We’re forever grateful that Anna brought her Limoncello recipe over from the old country. This vibrant, refreshing liqueur embodies our passion for crafting world-class spirits. And at 80 proof, it’s perfect for elevating cocktails as well as sipping on its own. Wake up your tastebuds with a taste of Italy, handcrafted in the heart of Ohio.
