In the past I’ve been the dreamer, and Amanda’s the one persistent enough to make those dreams come true. So I was thrill this time around when Amanda had the big idea, and it was on me to make it happen.

It’s always been a dream of Amanda & I to make a Sauternes whiskey. When we started out several years back the barrels were out of our reach; the barrels cost too much, no one wanted to deal with an unknown distillery, and there was the language barrier. With so much support for our Sherry finish, we started saving up to travel to France and meet with the wine makers…

Nick and I’s philosophy has always been to create the best Single Malt Sates-side as possible. To do this we believe in using the highest quality ingredients and barrels. So we decided to take a quick trip to France to learn about wine making and their barrel aging process.
