The whole collection

Different spirits.
A common curiosity.

Whiskey is where most of our story lives. Gin is part of it, too. Get to know every bottle, then follow your own path.

The new American school of distilling

Respect the craft.
Stay curious.

Start with good ingredients. Pay attention to the barrel. Keep asking what comes next.

That curiosity connects our four-grain bourbon, fully malted rye, layered solera and barrel-aged gin. Different starting points. The same care.

01 / Balance

Every grain has a part.

Soft wheat sweetness. Rye spice on the finish. Four Grain brings both to a 100-proof bourbon.

02 / Thoughtful casks

Wood with something to say.

American oak, French oak, Oloroso and peated Islay casks give each whiskey its own direction.

03 / Curiosity

Follow the unexpected.

Gin meets pecan-smoked grapefruit, time in oak, and cold-smoked maple and agave. Meet Old Tom.

A different side of Oppidan

Floral.
Citrus.
A little unexpected.

Our curiosity extends beyond whiskey. Grapefruit, elderflower, hibiscus and chamomile meet ginger, cardamom and cinnamon in American Botanical Gin.

Botanical Gin

Mr. Fitz

A rather distinguished character. Grapefruit, elderflower and a bright botanical spirit.

The recipe

A little whiskey. A little gin. A good place to begin.

From barrel to glass

Time is part
of the recipe.

In our solera, French oak and Oloroso casks are never fully emptied. A little of what came before stays with what comes next.

A thoughtful cask. A patient pour. A character of its own.
