The origins of (”Small Batch”) Bourbon can be traced back to the earliest days of Bourbon’s long and colorful history.

Bourbon ranks at the very top of only a handful of products
that can legitimately claim to be truly 100% genuine American. Like American Jazz, it is an original art form unique only in America. It is an American classic in its own right.

Back in the early days of colonial America, before America was yet united as a nation, and Kentucky was known as a “Territory”, many of the early pioneers settling in the “Kentucky Territory” were growing corn as their main crop in order to validate their land claims that had been granted them, or “corn writs” as they were called.

To prevent spoilage to their grain crops many of these early settlers milled their grain and distilled it into spirits. They were, in effect, farmer-distillers out of necessity to save their crops and livelihoods.

The area known as the “Kentucky Territory” soon boasted some two thousand of these farmer distillers. These earliest farmer- distillers were basically all “Small Batch” producers of limited ways and means.

In contrast to those “Small Batch” Bourbons originated by the early pioneers settling in the “Kentucky Territory” several hundred years ago, the “Small Batch” Bourbons made today are specifically hand-crafted and tailored to the most discriminating tastes and palates of sophisticated connoisseurs.

Connoisseurs of fine Bourbon recognize this and appreciate savoring these “Small Batch” Bourbons for their individual handcrafted originality, each unique and distinctive in its own way.

Each of our “Small Batch” Bourbons represent what we believe is the best combination of mature, fully aged Bourbon at a particular strength.

We invite you to enjoy any of these finely handcrafted American originals. Please enjoy in moderation.
