FAQS
What is pot still bourbon?
Though others may use a different process, we use traditional copper pot stills to produce our bourbon. The more common method of bourbon distillation is on a “column still,” which creates a lighter spirit. Our pot still process produces bourbon that stands up to aging in new charred oak, without losing its essence. Each dram is full of character and body, with an aromatic entry and soft finish creating an approachable yet memorable sip.

- Distilled no higher than 160 proof
- Aged in new, charred oak barrels no more than 125 proof
