  • About Stillhouse®: Stillhouse® is an award-winning American-made spirits portfolio encased in one-of-a-kind, unbreakable 100% stainless steel cans that go where glass can’t. Forging a path that goes against the grain, Stillhouse® Spirits Co. was founded in 2016. From its inception, Stillhouse® has created a unique and differentiated platform in the spirits industry – from liquid to package – by defying industry norms, breaking through the monotony and all in a metal can that stands for the unbreakable spirit of America’s finest. Stillhouse® Whiskey is distilled in traditional copper stills then charcoal filtered for superior quality and taste, allowing the natural sweetness of the corn to shine throughout the mellow flavor and smooth finish that make this a truly versatile spirit. Stillhouse® whiskey is also available in Apple Crisp, Peach Tea and Spiced Cherry. All flavors are natural and gluten free. In 2018, Stillhouse® introduced Stillhouse® Black Bourbon and in 2019, the brand took the biggest spirits category head on with the debut of Stillhouse® Classic Vodka.

QUOTES
 
 
 
“I’m looking forward to returning to Michigan in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, especially with Sam and the team. I’ve had decent success there, and I look forward to building on the strong runs that SHR and I have had together this year. The guys have worked hard to put together a fast Stillhouse GR Supra.”
 
— John Hunter Nemechek, Driver of the No. 26 Stillhouse® Toyota GR Supra
 
 
“Looking forward to Michigan this weekend with John Hunter and it’s always good to be back in Stillhouse colors. JH always performs well in our No. 26 machine. I think Michigan will be a good opportunity to see where we stack up and where we can improve on faster, high-downforce tracks. The challenge will be tall but our guys are working hard to bring our best effort this weekend.”
 
— Sam Hunt, Owner of Sam Hunt Racing
