Veteran-owned Larrikin Bourbon Co. is crossing over the state line from the Kentucky into Tennessee with a new release. 

Larrikin will unveil Tennessee Barrel One — a 121.5 proof, cask strength, single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — exclusively at the Southern Food & Whiskey Experience, in Franklin, TN on August 9.

The release will be available for the first time at SFWE, with limited bottles for purchase and a first taste reserved for VIP attendees. Tickets to the Southern Food and Whiskey Experience, are on sale now and will sell out.

“Tennessee Barrel One is bloody good,” Greg Keeley, Founder and Distiller at Larrikin Bourbon Co., said in a news release “It’s bold, unapologetic, and just a little irreverent — a perfect reflection of who we are and what we stand for.”

“We love putting daring, expressive spirits in front of our audience — and Larrikin fits that bill beautifully,” Tiny Irwin, Proprietor of the Southern Food & Whiskey Experience, said. “They bring a unique international flair, serious whiskey chops, and a whole lot of character. It’s the kind of story people want to sip on.”

The full Larrikin lineup will be available across Tennessee through Franklin Selections, including the Kentucky craft distillery’s award-winning Single Barrel Bourbon, Bottled in Bond, High Wheat Rye, Small Batch, the one-of-a-kind Rosewater Bourbon and Bourbon Maple Cream.

“We like our bourbon like we like our war stories — layered, bold, and best shared with mates,” Keeley said. “Tennessee Single Barrel One is a big g’day from us to the Volunteer State.”
