Behind The Pursuit: What You Missed at the First Founder Hour
Behind The Pursuit: What You Missed at the First Founder HourUpdate: 2025-11-12
Description
You’ve heard us talk about single barrels for years, but this time we’re sitting on the other side of the table. Kenny and Ryan just dropped a new round of Pursuit Series bottles — Episodes 77 through 81 — and if you’ve been following the brand since the early days, this lineup might feel like a full-circle moment. These were first unveiled during the debut of Founder Hour, a brand-new, six-seat tasting experience inside the Pursuit Spirits gift shop on Whiskey Row. Think of it as the most intimate flight we’ve ever done, with pours that tell the story of how far this brand has come.
In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of those releases for everyone who couldn’t make that inaugural Founder Hour. Kenny and Ryan walk through what makes each of these barrels special — from a 12-year Bardstown sibling to the legendary 017, to a 20-year Tennessee giant that officially becomes the oldest whiskey in Pursuit Spirits history. We talk about how long they’ve been sitting on some of these barrels, what patience really looks like when you’re building a brand, and why Founder Hour might be the most personal experience they’ve ever created.
So pour a glass, settle in, and let’s go inside the story of Pursuit Series 77–81 — the bottles that turned a small tasting idea into a full-blown experience.
