Our Whiskey

What makes your whiskey different?

We’re a small and independent business, not owned by an international conglomerate, and we make a fraction of what even the smallest commercial Kentucky distiller makes. We also never buy whiskey made by anyone else and package it as our own. This is surprisingly common in whiskey and you can learn more about it here or here. Our pricing is in line with other craft producers or small wineries and breweries that have a similar philosophy. 

We use local organic ingredients, unusual mashbills, pot stills for a richer, more flavorful spirit, and we age our whiskey longer than many of our craft peers. We also put more emphasis on the sensory aspect of blending, which is one of the reasons we believe we’ve won so many awards in blind-tasting competitions, year after year.

Are your whiskeys vegan?

Yes, all of our products are vegan.

Are you whiskeys gluten-free?

All of our whiskeys are made to a gluten-free recipe, however they are made in a facility that processes ingredients with gluten.

Are your whiskeys GMO-free and organic?

All of our whiskeys are GMO-free, and we frequently use organic and local ingredients wherever possible.

What should I get for my friend who likes...?

We make a variety of whiskeys that appeal to all different kinds of whiskey appreciators. We do a holiday gift guide each year, you can see the most recent one here.
