Join us for a Neat & Mixed Flight Night with Clinton Dugan, co-founder and master blender at Shortbarrel, as we taste through three pours: Shortbarrel Four Grain, Shortbarrel Toasted Small Batch, and Shortbarrel Rye 101.

Clinton shares how his journey into bourbon began, the story behind Shortbarrel’s founding—including a chance barrel pick in Louisville with Adam and Patrick—and how the brand got its name. We dive into the making of their flagship four-grain bourbon, the inspiration behind secondary aging in Georgia for the Toasted Small Batch, and how acquiring Old Fourth Distillery in Atlanta changed things.

We also explore Shortbarrel’s limited editions, from the Bees Knees Honey Barrel Finish to the Sapquatch Maple Cask Finish, plus a look at expansion plans, future releases, and what’s next.
