The Spirit of a Nation, Reawakened.
Our story doesn’t begin with a family recipe, but with a congressional mandate. A declaration that gave bourbon its title, and our brand its purpose.
A Mandate of Character
In 1964, the United States Congress made a profound declaration, naming Bourbon Whiskey “America’s Native Spirit.” It was more than law; it was the official recognition of a signature American art form. A craft rooted in the land, defined by patience, and perfected by principle. This act wasn't an end to a story, but the beginning of a promise—a standard for the entire world to see.
A Destiny, Answered
This historical moment became a personal calling for a founder born in that same decisive year. He saw in this declaration not just a title, but a destiny waiting to be fulfilled. It sparked a quiet, lifelong conviction: to create a bourbon that would not only honor this national legacy, but elevate it. A spirit that would serve as the new heartbeat of an enduring American ideal—unifying, sophisticated, and forward-looking.

Patience as a Principle
Our philosophy is not one of haste, but of harmony. We are guided by the wisdom of the grain and the rhythm of the seasons. We believe true character cannot be forced or accelerated; it must be patiently cultivated. We are stewards of a process, not masters of it. We listen to the bourbon, allowing it to mature naturally until it tells us it has reached the peak of its expression. This is our commitment: no shortcuts, no compromises, only time-honored craft.
