As the leaves turn (so cliché I know), we cherish cooler weather, fall traditions and stronger beverages. I personally thirst for a malty beer and a dram of Single Barrel Rye.

As many know, HK and I cut our teeth in the beverage industry by canning beer in Boulder, Colorado. I moved to Colorado in 2011, and I found a job with Avery Brewing Company on day 3! I soon called HK, and in a very indirect route through Portland, he found a job with Upslope Brewing. Both breweries were enjoying the craft beer boom, and we were the beneficiaries of their expansion. I slowly worked my way through the ranks of an established brewery while HK's industrious background made him a jack of all trades for an expanding brand.

Six years ago, we embarked on an incredible journey… not to the stars, but to the heart of why we make our spirits. Now, we're inviting you to join us on an intergalactic celebration as Abbott & Wallace Distilling turns 6! 🥂6️⃣

HK's father (Howard) loved Single Malt Scotch Whiskey. After a long day supporting the community through development and management of "Section 8" housing, there was nothing better than kicking back with some smooth Jazz and Glenfiddich.
