The Distillery Story

From central Ohio, Leather & Oak Spirits is a distillery driven by a passion for crafting premium spirits. Co-founded by Steve Lambert and Dave Sheppard, the brand pays homage to Steve’s cherished memories of distilling on his family’s farm. Generations of recipes and expertise are distilled into every bottle, embodying the values of quality, heritage, and community. Leather & Oak prides itself on its farm-to-bottle philosophy. Using only the finest Ohio-grown grains, each batch is handcrafted in copper stills. Their signature Leather & Oak Bourbon Whiskey is an award-winning centerpiece, celebrated for its rich, smooth profile with vanilla, caramel, and oak undertones. Having earned Double Gold at the 2024 World Spirits Competition, it’s a must-try for any bourbon lover. Leather & Oak’s expertise doesn’t end with bourbon. Their handcrafted Anna’s Limoncello, a vibrant and refreshing liqueur inspired by an Old-World family recipe, has also garnered recognition, securing Silver at the 2024 American Craft Spirits Association.
