Handpicked with Pete &; Pablo: Barrels That Leave a Mark

Some barrel selections are good.
Others stay with you.

Our recent time selecting barrels with Pete and Pablo was firmly in the latter category. This dynamic duo has truly turned it up a notch, delivering exceptional barrels that remind you why patience, instinct, and trust in the process still matter in American whiskey.

We first crossed paths with them years ago when they were just getting started, and watching their evolution has been a genuine pleasure. Any event with them, whether at a whiskey bar, a restaurant, or behind the scenes in a rickhouse, carries a certain electricity. You know you’re about to taste something serious.

When it came time to select these particular barrels, we were struck immediately by the quality. A stunning American Light Whiskey aged over 20 years, layered, elegant, and endlessly expressive. Alongside it, a high-floor, high-proof bourbon with real authority. Bold, structured, and the kind of whiskey that doesn’t just impress in the moment, but lingers long after the glass is empty.

These are not forgettable pours.
They’re the kind that reset your expectations.

Every barrel was hand-selected, debated, revisited, and ultimately chosen because it delivered something special. Something honest. Something that will stay with you for a long time.

We can’t wait for you to experience these barrels for yourself. They’re a reflection of the people who made them, the places they aged, and the standards we refuse to compromise.

Cheers to great partners, great whiskey, and bottles worth opening with intent.
