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.”
