He met EH Taylor during the recording sessions for his first studio album. traveler, and now holds a bottle at his bar.

I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created.”

Traveler Whiskey has notes of vanilla, ripe fruit and buttery shortbread on the nose, and spices, roasted nuts and oak on the palate.
