The Heritage Road Spirits Story

Welcome to Heritage Road Spirits, where every bottle tells a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and American spirit. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Nashville, Tennessee, our brand is dedicated to creating exceptional spirits that embodies the essence of America's rich heritage.

Our Journey

Heritage Road Spirits was founded in 2024 by two good friends, Nicholas and Dan, who shared a deep passion for spirts, especially bourbon. Their journey began with a simple conversation over drinks, during their regular fireside gatherings. These casual conversations evolved into a shared vision to create a bourbon that transcends the ordinary. With a blend of traditional and modern techniques, they embarked on a mission to craft a spirit that celebrates American history and craftsmanship.

Founders’ Vision

Heritage Road Spirits was founded by Nicholas Corleto, a veteran of the US Air Force, and Dan Swanson, a skilled Steamfitter with deep community roots. Our diverse backgrounds and shared love for bourbon and other spirits have shaped the essence of our brand. We believe in blending tradition with innovation to create a spirit that tells a story with every sip.

Meet the Founders

Nicholas, with his background as a US Air Force veteran and an accomplished educator, provides unmatched leadership and innovative insights to Heritage Road Spirits. His strategic expertise and scientific knowledge are crucial for mastering the complexities of the spirit industry. Nicholas's analytical approach ensures that each batch resonates with depth and sophistication.

Dan, a seasoned Steamfitter with Local Union 638 and a proud advocate of his American-Irish heritage, infuses the company with his dedication to craftsmanship and community. His practical skills and meticulous attention to detail, honed in the construction industry, ensure that every aspect of our operations meets the highest standards of excellence.

Together, Nicholas and Dan embody the spirit of Heritage Road Spirits—a fusion of tradition and innovation. Each bottle we produce is not just a drink but a celebration of American heritage, craftsmanship, and the spirit of community.

Our Bourbon

At Heritage Road Spirits, our bourbon is more than just a spirit; it's a journey through the rich tapestry of American history. Each batch is meticulously crafted and stands as a testament to the deep, enduring flavors aged within charred oak barrels, reflecting the amber hues of dusky sunsets over rural America. Our proof of 96.4 is a special nod to 1964, the year bourbon was declared a unique product of the United States, and 1796, Tennessee's historic entry as the 16th state.

Commitment to Quality

Our commitment to quality is unwavering. Guided by Nicholas's scientific insight and Dan's practical expertise, we meticulously source our bourbon, selecting only those that meet our stringent criteria for quality and character. Each chosen bourbon is a testament to our dedication to authenticity and excellence.

The aging process is where our bourbons acquire their distinctive character. We collaborate closely with master distillers, employing a blend of time-honored methods and innovative techniques to refine the flavor and aroma. Each barrel is selected and monitored to ensure it meets our exacting standards, contributing to the bourbon's depth and complexity.

Innovation Meets Tradition

While we honor traditional methods of bourbon production, Heritage Road Spirits is also committed to innovation. We continually explore new techniques and flavors to keep our offerings exciting and fresh, appealing to both bourbon connoisseurs and those new to the spirit.
