“The Musician”
Straight Bourbon Whiskey
When a musician combines chords, rhythms, and harmonies, the result taps into something deep inside us.
Music has the ability to bring us all closer together—to make us feel more free and alive. So does great whiskey.
This is more than just distilled corn, rye, and barley. This is music in a bottle.

“A healthy bit of caramel with some vanilla in the background. But that's not what makes this interesting...”

“You know that pink bunny in the battery commercials? The finish on this just kept going and going and going.”

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