Some things only grow more powerful with time. Supernova is one of them. 🥃

Our 21 Year Hazmat Light Whiskey, bottled at 142.7 proof, burns bright with butterscotch, brûléed sugar, buttery shortbread, and toasted oak. More than two decades in the cask transformed its sweetness into something intensely rich, layered, and commanding.

Available at Kentucky Bourbon Festival for $199.99.

Thirteen years in oak, then transformed once more. 🥃

Our 13 Year Double Oaked French Oak Bourbon, bottled at 125.2 proof, layers chocolate covered hazelnut, graham cracker, and vanilla over mature oak and baking spice. A second encounter with French oak takes an already mature bourbon somewhere deeper, richer, and unmistakably decadent.

Available at Kentucky Bourbon Festival for $199.99.

Chosen from the shadows. Transformed by sherry. 🥃

Our 2026 KBF Barrel Selection is a 9 Year Oloroso Sherry Bourbon, bottled at 118.4 proof. Dark chocolate and cherry move into cocoa, ripe fruit, cherry cola, cracked pepper, and seasoned oak. A bold KBF selection that is unmistakably Dark Arts.

Available at Kentucky Bourbon Festival for $99.99.

It’s all in the details. 🥃

This past week at the Whiskey House, we gathered for an evening of Bourbon & Caviar. We explored a curated flight of cask strength bourbons alongside exceptional caviars, each pairing chosen to reveal new layers of flavor through contrast, balance & a little bit of alchemy.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the table and made the evening one to remember.

There’s always another experience waiting to be uncovered at the Whiskey House. Keep an eye on our upcoming events & join us for what’s next.

The next chapter of Sherry Garcia® has arrived. 🥃

Sherry Garcia® Vol. 3 is officially available today at the Dark Arts Whiskey House.
Aged 8.5 years, finished in Oloroso Sherry casks, and bottled at cask strength at 114.06 proof, Vol. 3 dives deeper into the darker side of transformation. Dried cranberry and bright citrus give way to rich walnut, juicy cherry, building baking spice, charred oak, and a lingering trace of to***co.

Familiar in name. Evolved in character. Transformed by sherry.

Come find Sherry Garcia® Vol. 3 at the Whiskey House while it lasts.

Please note: the age & proof shown in the video are from an earlier stage of the release. The final expression is 8.5 years old and 114.06 proof.

A little taste. A small adjustment. Another taste.

Blending isn’t about following a formula. It’s knowing when something needs more, when it needs less and, most importantly, when to leave it alone.

Inside the Whiskey House, every blend starts with a question: What could this whiskey become?
