Short Barrel Whiskey
Originally formed in 2015 as a small group of bourbon enthusiasts in Atlanta, GA, the Shortbarrel name has since become synonymous with top-notch quality. Handpicked with great care, only barrels that meet our group’s exacting standards proudly bear our name. Over four years (2016-2020), we embarked on countless barrel-picking adventures, meticulously selecting around 350 different barrels—possibly more, but things get fuzzy. It was during a Sunday in Louisville in 2020, after indulging in bourbons for hours, that we drunkenly crossed paths with a barrel broker. In a moment of inspired intoxication, we decided to venture into the realm of creating our brand. Thus, Shortbarrel was born, and in early 2021, we hit shelves in GA. Fast forward three years and with more than 10,000 cases sold, we find ourselves eager to expand beyond our current region. Naturally, the logical next step on our journey is Kentucky, where we have secured a contract to distill.
