Our Story

Three friends, one obsession with great whiskey. From Nashville to Louisville — the barrels and the story that started it all.

Our Story

Started by friends.
Built on great barrels.

In 2018, we were three guys who saw where the market was headed — impossible allocations and vanishing access to the good stuff. So we bought our first batch of barrels to keep the tradition alive.

The word got out fast. By 2021, we opened our own space in Nashville. Now we're in Louisville, inside a government-bonded rickhouse in the heart of NuLu.
