Spirits launch with tennis great Andy
Roddick.
"Sweetens Cove and The Cradle at
Pinehurst are kindred spirits that
emphasize fun and accessibility in golf."
The Kindred Spirits partnership between Pinehurst and Sweetens Cove includes a
cocktail program at Pinehurst's
open-air bar, The Cradle Crossing. Kindred Spirits launched in May
with a signature Sweet Tea Old Fashioned created with award-winning
Sweetens Cove Bourbon, which is the only bourbon directly connected
to and inspired by a golf course.
"Four years ago, we had a crazy idea to start a bourbon company
based around a magical place in South
Pittsburgh, Tennessee,
called Sweetens Cove Golf Club which has become one of
the most beloved 9-hole courses in the country. The Kindred Spirits
connection with Pinehurst and The
Cradle emphasizes fun and accessibility in the game golf while
building new friendships and traditions—with a splash or two of
hand-crafted bourbon," said Roddick, who co-owns Sweetens Cove Golf
Club and Sweetens Cove Spirits Company with NFL great Peyton Manning.
In 2024, Pinehurst will also
host informal seasonal events with Sweetens Cove involving bourbon,
BBQ, music and short course golf competitions.
"Golfers enjoy The Cradle and Sweetens Cove for a lot of the
same reasons – the golf is fun and there is an emphasis on the
joyful camaraderie of your playing partners," says Gonzague
Muchery, Pinehurst Resort's Director of Food & Beverage. "The
Kindred Spirits cocktail is a great first step in bonding these two
golfing destinations together. We're excited for more opportunities
in the future."

About Sweetens Cove Spirits Company
The
New York Times has called
Sweetens Cove, a 9-hole, public golf course located between
Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee "The Little Course That
Could," for its heart-warming story and world-class
architecture. GolfWeek Magazine's Modern
100 List has placed it as America's highest-rated 9-hole loop and
one of the Top 50 in the nation, ranking higher than six courses
that have hosted a U.S Open. It has been described as "Field of
Dreams Meets Tin Cup," for its cult-like following, summer
camp-like vibe, and breath-taking design and
environment. In 2019, the course was acquired by a group
of friends, including Peyton
Manning, Andy Roddick,
Mark Rivers, Skip Bronson, Tom
Nolan, and Drew Holcomb
(along with original creator Rob
Collins). Other owners include Eli
Manning, Cooper Manning and
Jim Nantz. In 2020, the same group
debuted the acclaimed Sweetens Cove Tennessee Bourbon, created by
Master Distiller Marianne Eaves, in a limited edition, inspired by
a ritual at the golf course where first-time visitors take a
celebratory shot of whiskey at the first-tee. The second
limited-edition ultra-premium release followed in 2021, with
Kennessee making the brand more widely accessible beginning in
April 2022.
