The Journey's Beginning: Whiskey Barrel Release

We're Hosting a Rare Three-Barrel Bourbon Release

Garnet & Black Vodka, the Official NIL spirit supporting GAmecokc Athletics.

If you're a bourbon fan, you'll want to be sure to join us for this one-day-only barrel release event on Saturday, August 29, 2026, showcasing three great whiskeys alongside the newest flavor in their Family Reserve Limited Release portfolio.


Two premium selections are sourced from prominent national distilleries. Each barrel was individually selected and will be sold under the new Founders’ Journey label.


The first is a highly coveted 19-year-old straight bourbon whiskey, distilled in Tennessee in February of 2007.


The second is a 10-year-old rye whiskey, distilled in Indiana in November of 2015 and aged in a Kelvin barrel.


The third barrel was distilled in-house under Hollow Creek Distillery's signature High Cotton brand. This barrel will be the first release of an 8-year-old High Cotton barrel marking yet

another milestone for the Leesville distillery.


Due to the limited nature of these specific selections, individual purchase quantities will be limited.


In addition to the three barrel releases, Hollow Creek will also debut a new Watermelon Basil flavored vodka as the latest installment in the popular Family Reserve Limited Release series.
