Daniel Linde
In 2006, Washington University and Pepperdine graduates Daniel Linde and David Mandell broke into the alcohol market with Pink Spirits, a company that produced, among other things, a unique fusion vodka drink. After a successful launch and surprisingly robust sales, the blossoming company was sold in 2009, and with their capital, the duo was eager to tackle the flourishing bourbon market.

Steve Nally
To Nally, transparency is an important concept. It is evident in the architecture, the way the product is presented, and the overall philosophy of the company. Transparency to Bardstown Bourbon is showing the bourbon public exactly what is taking place. According to Peter Loften, “When this company set out in 2014, the original plan was to grow into it in 15 or 20 years, we accomplished this goal in 6 years. Nobody could imagine the velocity the bourbon industry would grow at.” Steve Nally was the right man to carry out this philosophy.
