Batch One

Our debut. For Batch One, we crafted a blend meant to introduce whiskey lovers to the essence of Spiritbenders. We search out spaces in the world of fine spirits that others have yet to fill, always guided by taste and quality. Batch One brings together two aged bourbons from distinct distilleries, climates, and rickhouses, each bourbon bearing its own story shaped by years of unique temperature cycles.

After five and seven years of aging, these bourbons moved to finishing barrels—sherry, port, and maple syrup. We then proofed it slowly, preserving the blend’s lush, fruity depth and achieving the smooth, balanced finish we envisioned.

Nose

Aromas of vanilla crème wafer and toasted pecan mix with the warmth of white pepper and poached pear, promising a rich experience from the start.

Palette

Layers of butterscotch and candied ginger meld with a hint of grilled blood orange, while a creamy finish nods back to the vanilla crème on the nose. Add a drop of water to reveal hints of baking spice and delicate English macaron.

Finish

A medium-to-long finish with notes of caramel and toffee that evolve into a lingering, tawny port richness, leaving a buttery, satisfying close.

Crafted for Sipping

Perfect on its own, Batch One also enhances a classic bourbon cocktail with its depth and complexity. Proofed for balance, each drop of water reveals a new layer—Thanksgiving spices, coconut, a shift from pear to plum—inviting exploration with every sip.
