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.

Upstate Vodka is both very traditional and quite unique for vodka due to the use of apples. The final product is not “flavored” but the apple base does lend a wonderful mouthfeel and a nice hint of fruit on the back end of the palate. You can taste the fruits of our labor in every bottle of Upstate Vodka. Not every apple is created equal and not every batch is exactly the same. Part science, part art, using local apples, we take the time and a hands-on approach to make the finest quality vodka every time. We take pride in creating a small batch, truly hand crafted, agricultural product.
