Our Story: Louisville & Nashville
In 2018, we were three guys who saw where the market was headed—not enough bourbon supply driving demand through the roof and creating impossible allocations for us and our friends to get the good whiskey that had brought us together. One of our favorite past-times has been traveling all over the country and picking single-barrels with our friends, but that memory was vanishing quickly.
So, we decided to do it our way, and invest in our own abilities to select single barrels. We bought our first batch of barrels in 2018, quite honestly, we did it so that we could continue the tradition of picking through good whiskey with our friends.
Little did we know what would happen next.
Well, the word got out… fast. People started talking about our barrels. It became so popular that friends were asking if they could pick a barrel of our stuff. February of 2020, we released our first single barrel rye – and people on social media made sure the rest was history. Soon, groups from all over the country were calling to ask to come pick a barrel for themselves.
In March of 2021, it hadn’t stopped… so much so that we had to open up our own distillery to house it all. And we’re so glad we did, because now we get to share even more whiskey with enthusiasts and friends like you.
Louisville Expansion: To keep up with the enthusiasts who supported us from day one, we knew we had to expand. Opening in Louisville isn’t just about a new building; it’s about widening our reach so we can share even more rare finds and single barrels with the community that put us on the map.
Now, whether you visit us in Nashville or our new spot in Louisville, come on by. Have a dram, a bottle, or a barrel… and find out why the people have been talking about us.
