Straight Bourbon: “The Musician”
“THE MUSICIAN”

STRAIGHT
BOURBON
WHISKEY

Music has the ability to bring us all closer together—to make us feel more free and alive. So does great whiskey.

When a musician combines chords, rhythms, and harmonies, the result taps into something deep inside us.

This is more than just distilled corn, rye, and barley. This is music in a bottle.

“A healthy bit of caramel with some vanilla in the background. But that's not what makes this interesting...”
Nick Leghorn, Thirty-One Whiskey
“I'm hooked on the spice from the rye, alongside the hints of brown sugar, caramel, and toffee. The smooth, lasting lingering finish is bliss."

No one said making whiskey was easy. But we decided to make it about as difficult as possible, because dammit, we like a challenge.

That means we went all the way to Scotland and asked the world's best stillmaker to build us a 42-foot column still. It means we promised never to use any grains grown outside the state of Texas, no matter how rare or obscure those grains might be.

And it means we embrace an inclusive and imaginative worldview: Whiskey for the artists, the outsiders, and the ne'er-do-wells. Long live bourbon.
