OUR BOURBON STORY
When Belle Isle Craft Spirits first embarked on a venture in the spirits world, we started with a dream of crafting the finest bourbon. This dream, however, took an intriguing detour as we immersed ourselves in the craft of moonshine.
Our dedication to clear spirits became our canvas, yet the essence of bourbon continued to resonate within us. Virginia, our home, is the cradle of American bourbon, a place where the spirit's rich history is as palpable as the lush landscape that surrounds us.
A decade of perfecting our moonshine has led us back to our roots. The bourbon barrels filled five years ago have matured, signaling our return to the passion that sparked our journey.
This bourbon transcends mere spirits; it is a tribute to our unwavering commitment, a celebration of our innovative spirit, and a reflection of the distinctive qualities inherent in our acclaimed moonshine.
Our collaboration with Ed Trask, an artist and friend who intimately understands the spirit of Belle Isle, has been instrumental in this journey.
Together, we designed a bourbon label that not only portrays the island's breathtaking scenery but also symbolizes its role as a unifier of the city's diverse sides.
"I have painted endless studies during all forms of light and seasons on this island and have such a reverence for it that I loved the idea of bringing the whiskey drinker into this world with me"
At Belle Isle, we don’t just create spirits; we craft experiences. Inspired by the island that bears our name, we endeavor to bridge differences, bringing together varied people and perspectives to forge something truly remarkable.
Our story is woven from the past's teachings, the present's dedication, and future aspirations, all captured in every bottle we craft. Belle Isle offers more than just premium spirits; we present a journey of tradition and innovation, a testament to our dedication to excellence and a constant quest for the extraordinary.
Each bottle is not just a drink but a narrative of our commitment to blending the established with the innovative, a symbol of our pursuit of perfection and adventure.
