Mossback Distilling to bring Middle-Earth and Mortal Combat Realms to Spirits
[JEFFERSON CITY, TN] – [October 10, 2024] – The Mossback Distilling Company, a craft distillery in the heart of East Tennessee, is proud to announce its partnership with Syzygy Forge (the licensee with
Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products) to become the exclusive distiller of The Lord of
the Rings and Mortal Combat inspired lines of collectible spirits.
This exciting collaboration will bring the legendary world of Middle-earth and realms of Mortal
Combat to life through the art of distilling, offering fans a unique and immersive experience. The
Mossback Distilling Company will leverage its expertise and passion for crafting exceptional spirits
to create products that capture the essence of the beloved franchises.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the magic of these franchises to our distillery,” said
Jeremy Reed, Owner of the Mossback Distilling Company, said. “We’re fans of both franchises, and
because of that we want to do this right. We’re paying attention to every detail from the spirits
themselves to product packaging and more.”
Intentionality and attention to detail are core values for The Mossback Distilling Company. The name
itself pays homage to the area, and the opening of the distillery in the Historic Mossy Creek District
of downtown Jefferson City was the beginning of a new era for the town.
“When we opened our doors in 2021, downtown Jefferson City was dormant,” Reed stated. “But
now…it’s alive again. We’re incredibly proud to be part of this community and watching it blossom
has been incredible.”
Since opening, several other local businesses have moved downtown creating that true small-town
experience that people crave when visiting the area. But it’s not about the tourists, it’s also about the
locals and providing somewhere for the community to come and interact. Other businesses in the
area include Mad Ox House, Mossy’s, Patriot Woodfire Pizza, The Hoagie Ship, Barber Shop 2020,
local boutiques and shops, and soon a quaint place to stay with The Lodge at Old City Hall. “Being a Lord of the Rings fan myself, I’m ecstatic about the opportunity that the Mossback Distilling Company has,” said Lauren Hurdle, Director of Tourism for Jefferson County. “The amount of love, energy, and time they have invested in our community doesn’t go unseen, and I know that will be the same for this endeavor.”
The Lord of the Rings line of whiskey and bourbon will be available for purchase at select retailers
and online. Mossback Distillery will also offer limited-edition releases and tasting experiences for fans to fully immerse themselves in the Middle-earth experience.
