Bold and chewy meets sweet and decadent.
Don't purchase this double-barreled bourbon expecting the typical double-oaked flavor profile. Expect it to be better.

6-year bruiser of a bourbon Distilled at Watershed Distillery. |

Finished in a sweeter-profile Watershed bourbon barrel by Two Souls Spirits. |

Double Barreled, not Double Oaked. The difference? Ours did not undergo a second aging in a new barrel. We used a previously used bourbon barrel (also from Watershed). |
Two barrels = a better bourbon.
We took big, brash Watershed bourbon and finished in a "sweet" cask that previously held another Watershed private selection by 2 Bros 1 Bottle (Columbus, OH). The end result is the best of both worlds - a bourbon that unapologetically bold and shamelessly decadent.
Tasting Notes: Wonderfully dense and well-rounded. Perfectly balanced with burnt caramel, orange oil, vanilla bean, confectioner’s sugar, and charred oak.

Founded in 2010, Watershed Distillery in Columbus, Ohio boasts an impressive list of award-winning gins, bourbon, apple brandy, and liqueurs. Dedicated to the principles of quality and community, this standout Midwest distillery invites you to gather with friends and family, raise a glass, and savor the spirits and company that underpin our personal Watershed moments – whether momentous or fleeting.
We first visited Watershed when researching craft distilleries for Bourbon Sippers. At the time (2012/2013), two guys and a tiny still represented the entirety of the production crew. However, despite this humble appearance, Watershed was still cranking out premium gins and a young bourbon that oozed with potential. Now, much larger and raking in yearly accolades, Watershed was a no-brainer top priority when we decided to launch the Two Souls brand. We could not be happier to be partnering with this industry-leading craft distillery.
