Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens   About Hidden Barn Whiskey: Kentuckians have been known to stand united. The sense of community that was so crucial to the production of bootleg whiskey in those hidden barns of Kentucky is the same spirit that inspires the Hidden Barn brand today. Local gatherings to unwind, trade stories and share a good pour of whiskey are where the founders of Hidden Barn found their fellowship. The shared desire to build connection and fellowship drove them to become business partners. Founded in 2022 by Master Distiller Royce Neeley, Master Blender Jackie Zykan, 5820 Whiskey Society's Nate Winegar and Matt Danker, Hidden Barn honors the tradition of whiskey made the hard way in a celebration of community, shared passion and alchemy to create whiskey worth sharing.
