Black Label · Cask Strength
Straight from the barrel, nothing added.
Bottled uncut and unfiltered at full cask strength. What the barrel gave us, and nothing else.
The Cut
No water. No filter. No apologies.
Most bourbon gets proofed down and chill-filtered until it behaves. This one keeps its edges. We bottle it straight off the barrel at around 115 proof, so the proof and the character shift batch to batch. That's not a flaw. That's the barrel talking.
The Make
Grain to glass in East Tennessee
Locally grown corn, mountain spring water, small-batch distillation right here in the hills. Nothing trucked in, nothing outsourced. Built slow and bottled bold, the way the Callahans have always done it.
The Pour
Full-bodied and unafraid
Brown sugar and charred oak on the nose. Molasses and cinnamon through the middle. Tobacco and leather riding a long, warming finish. It runs hot and earns it. Add a single rock if you want, or meet it where it stands.
The Hardware
Gold, then Double Gold
Gold at the 2025 Barleycorn Awards. Double Gold at the 2025 ADI Competition. This is the bottle you reach for when the night matters, and it doesn't sit on the shelf long. Limited release, every time.
