Smoke & Spirits

“Why would anyone want a barrel piece with all that STUFF on it?” A passerby shook her head and walked away from our booth, full of handpainted whiskey barrels heads. It was our first show. Feedback like that might discourage a young maker.…or it might light a fire. I’ve given many silent thanks to that passerby thru the years for sparking the match. After nine years in business, a few hundred markets and many thousands of customers….THANK YOU for buying our bourbon barrel pieces with all that “stuff” on it 😉🥃✨

Hey there, friends! It's been a minute since we caught up here at Smoke & Spirits. I'm Chrissy, and this cutie beside me is my husband, Matt 😍 I'm a Florida girl who moved to Kentucky, completely falling for the craft and skill surrounding the incredible world of bourbon, and Matt is a Kentucky native through and through.

Our Smoke & Spirits journey kicked off in 2015 when we were on the hunt for special gifts for our wedding party. We couldn't find anything quite right, so we got creative and made our own from recycled bourbon barrels. People loved what we created, and requests started pouring in…so we decided to take the plunge and expand. Since then, we’ve moved to Savannah and couldn’t leave our love of bourbon behind. Turns out y’all love it here, too! I share a great studio in the Starland District with and , called .outpost!

There's something magical about giving old barrels a new lease on life. Uncovering the unique stories, celebrating the diversity in each piece of wood, and finding creative ways to share the beauty. Thanks for sticking with us as we share our passion with all of you…and maybe a toast or two 😉🥃 Cheers!

Whiskey versus bourbon…what’s the difference? Not all whiskeys can be classified as a bourbon, but every bourbon is a whiskey. Many people believe that bourbon must be distilled in Kentucky, but that’s not the case. Great bourbons are distilled all over the USA. To be classified as a bourbon, the whiskey must be at least 51% corn, distilled in the United States, and aged in brand new American white oak barrels with a charred interior. Bourbon must also be bottled while at least 80 proof and may also not be infused with any other flavors or additives. Whiskeys can break a few of those rules and be fine. The true flavor variations of bourbon comes from experimenting with char levels, temperatures while aging, variations of grain recipes, and more. One bourbon even sends their bottles to sea as they age! Making bourbon itself is a true form of art. Cheers! 🥃✨

✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨ Our sale is starting Wednesday at noon! Head over to our Insta or FB stories for your last chance for pre-inflation pricing on new babies along with free shipping! See you there! 💃🏻✨🎉🍾

Looking forward to that weekend like ✨😍✨

It’s time for another fun fact about bourbon! Just as the angels get their share of bourbon, the devil demands his cut too. There’s something in the distilling industry that we call Devil’s Cut. What does it mean, and why do we call it that? Let’s explain. Once the bourbon has been aging for a few years in the rickhouse and reaches its maturation point, the white oak barrels are emptied. A small portion of bourbon remains behind, trapped inside the wood grains of the porous oak barrel. This is called the Devil’s Cut. That liquid can be extracted from the barrel using water and heat, and it’s left with a deep, rich flavor created by its interaction with the American white oak. Sounds like a winner to us! 🥃

What’s that? One of my favorite markets is coming up, with over 40 artisans offering handmade goods for Christmas gifts (and let’s be honest, gifts for ourselves) in one of America’s prettiest places? I’ll clink to that! 🥃

To the men & women who’ve had our back for so many years…thank you 🇺🇸

We talk a whole lot about bourbon here at Smoke & Spirits, but we honestly haven’t given a whole lot of insight into the trade for those of you unfamiliar with it. So we’re going to occasionally share some fun facts that will deepen your understanding of the bourbon industry. Our first fact is about the Angel’s Share. The bourbon is aged in porous wooden barrels, and over time, a small percentage (anywhere from 2-5% a year) evaporates. The term dates back to the Middle Ages, and medieval Scotch and Irish distillers believed that the evaporating liquor was heading to the heavens as an offering to the angels, and that’s how it became known as the “angel’s share.” The evaporation process is a necessary part of aging, removing impurities, and it leaves us with a much smoother final product. 🥃
