Octane Espresso Whiskey is a brand I envisioned, formulated, and brought to life. Crafted with American whiskey and premium espresso, it is meticulously batched and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky.
What began as a small project in my kitchen has grown into full-scale production, launching in early 2025. Born from a passion for the rich intensity of espresso and the timeless allure of whiskey, Octane is more than just a drink—it’s fuel for the untamed spirit within us all.
