Big Machine Distillery, a d/b/a of Tenn South, has proudly announced its acquisition of Pickers Vodka from Pennington Distilling Co. This strategic asset purchase ensures the continuation and revitalization of one of Nashville’s most beloved vodka brands, securing its legacy and paving the way for an exciting future.

“The synergy between Nashville, music, and Pickers Vodka made this acquisition an absolute must for Big Machine Distillery,” said Scott Borchetta, Founder of Big Machine Distillery. “By combining the incredible 11-year foundation of Pickers with the full weight of our Big Machine assets, expertise, and vision, we are poised to elevate this brand to unprecedented heights. Jeff’s leadership and our team’s bold ideas will transform Pickers and Big Machine.”

This acquisition comes at a pivotal moment, as speculation loomed that production of Pickers Vodka might cease. Big Machine Distillery’s commitment ensures the continuation of production and rapid acceleration to fulfill orders and existing demand. Leveraging the state-of-the-art Lynville, TN facility, production and order fulfillment for Pickers Vodka are underway.

“For Jenny and me, Pickers Vodka has been a decade-long labor of love and a family passion,” said Jeff Pennington, who will join Big Machine Distillery as Executive Vice President of Vodka Properties. “Partnering with Big Machine—a company with unparalleled assets and shared passion—means realizing dreams we’ve long held for this brand. The possibilities are limitless, and I’m thrilled to be part of this next chapter.”

Big Machine Distillery is committed to honoring the heritage of Pickers Vodka while infusing it with bold innovation and expansive growth strategies.
