Craft spirits are hot and nothing is selling faster than Single Barrel, Cask Strength, Artisan Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Dunbar, was a Kentucky mail carrier during the prohibition era, and one of the first members of his rural community to drive an automobile. Family legend has it that he was also a notorious bootlegger and an early racer on the local stock car circuit. Our number one goa
l is to create authentic, sustainably-made spirits, of unparalleled flavor & quality, using time-honored recipes, traditional methods and local ingredients. We have turned to Kickstarter in order to raise the funds for a hybrid copper still which will allow us to produce approximately 10,000 cases of handcrafted bourbon, rye, vodka, gin and brandy each year. Old Dunbar is truly a FAMILY project, in every sense of the word. In addition to my own 20+ years of hands-on industry experience (as an executive chef and wholesale wine & spirits distributor), I have enlisted the help of several passionate & knowledgeable friends and relatives with backgrounds in brewing, distilling, winemaking, metalworking & fabrication, sustainable/organic farming, architecture, chemistry, mixology, graphic design, packaging, distribution, sales and marketing. If we manage to exceed our $100,000 Kickstarter funding goal, any additional money raised in this campaign will be used for the build-out of our distillery (in the Colonel's birthplace of Henderson County, Kentucky) which is expected to fall somewhere in the $2.5 Million range. To achieve this goal, we need the help of ALL our friends, family, acquaintances and, of course, the generosity of strangers. Once you contribute to our Kickstarter campaign, please take a moment to spread the word...
