The House has been busy. Our Summer Solstice Sale awakens at the Whiskey House on 6/14.

Boxes opened. Bottles sorted. Shelves searched. As we celebrate one year of Dark Arts Whiskey House, the House opens the vault and unveils a collection of rare bourbons and ryes at special Solstice pricing. It is both a tribute to the journey that brought us here and a toast to everything still taking shape beyond the barrel.

6–9 Year Stave, Wine, and Spirit Finished Bourbons & Ryes

A quarter millennium of America. One year of the House.

This June, we celebrate both.

To honor 250 years, Dark Arts Whiskey House presents our 250th Anniversary Release. A limited expression crafted as a tribute to the spirit of innovation, craftsmanship, and transformation that continues to shape American whiskey.

Its arrival also marks the beginning of our anniversary month as we approach one year since opening the doors of the House in Lexington, KY. A year of shared pours, curious palates, and stories forged in the shadows.

June 10th, the 250th Anniversary Release will be available exclusively at the Whiskey House, with online availability coming soon.

Join us throughout June as we celebrate the journey so far, and all that still waits beyond the next barrel.

Some barrels are chosen. Others are created.

Over the coming weeks, we're pulling back the curtain on a collaboration between our Chief Alchemist, Macaulay Minton, and Zak Cooperage. Together, they're exploring the boundaries of wood, whiskey, and transformation.

From stave selection to char profiles and everything in between, each decision leaves its mark on the spirit resting within.

This is where curiosity meets craftsmanship.
Where experiments become expressions.
Follow along as we trace the journey from raw oak to remarkable whiskey, one barrel at a time.

The Empyrean returns tomorrow.
Releasing online and at the Whiskey House, this limited annual release is a union of bourbon finished separately in red port and white port casks before being blended into a whiskey built on contrast and precision.

The red port brings layers of dark fruit, richness, and depth. The white port lifts the blend with bright floral notes and vibrant sweetness. Together, they create something elevated, indulgent, and unmistakably Dark Arts.

Named after “The Empyrean,” the highest celestial realm of fire and light, this release was crafted to embody both intensity and balance... where brightness meets shadow and every sip leaves a lasting impression.
Available tomorrow at the Whiskey House and online while supplies last. 🥃

Two paths. One final composition.

The Empyrean Vol. 2 arrives at the Whiskey House and online shop on 5/20.

Finished separately in both red port and white port casks, each bourbon evolved along its own course before being brought together with precision and restraint. One side carries lifted fruit, floral brightness, and soft sweetness. The other leans deeper into richness, baking spice, oak, and dark fruit. Together, they create a balance that feels both radiant and grounded.

At 111.5 proof and 7.5 years old, Empyrean Vol. 2 was designed to unfold slowly... layered, evolving, and impossible to divide once the glass is empty.

“The Empyrean” refers to the highest heaven, the celestial realm of fire and light. This release aims to live up to its namesake.
Available 5/20 at the Whiskey House and online.
