Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey
This deeper, more “metal” version of our beloved Straight Bourbon is made from a select blend of choice barrels, and bottled at a grow-hair-on-your-chest 118 proof.
In an act of masterful artistry, our distillers were able to combine power and subtlety into one gorgeous spirit.
Because of the demand for this magnificent juice we’ve decided to make it available year-round.

No one said making whiskey was easy. But we decided to make it about as difficult as possible, because dammit, we like a challenge.

Marc Burckhardt
The Artist Behind the Label
To create a darker mood for this more robust version of our flagship whiskey, we turned once again to the label artist for the Straight Bourbon. World-renowned artist (and Austinite) Marc Burckhardt helped us craft a nighttime scene featuring our beloved Musician, with a starry night sky that reflects the mysterious nature of the spirit inside the bottle.
