May 30, 2025Behind The Pursuit: The Year of Pursuit
Subscribe to ⁠Behind The Pursuit: From Bourbon to Brand⁠

Six months ago (back on Episode 077) we mentioned an upcoming packaging update, one that not only helps us stand out against other brands on the retails shelves but also simplifies the language we use in an effort to help consumers understand our product better. Today we launch that new packaging, and with it comes new 88 proof and cask strength offerings of our classic United Bourbon and Rye. On today's podcast the guys talk about some of the struggles with the design over the last 18 months, the new products in the collection, and the broader audience we hope the brand may reach with the changes and additions.

We hit on:
Overview of the New Packaging and Design Launch

The Journey of Custom Glass and Cork Design

Label Language and Consumer Clarity

Bottling Process Challenges and Innovations

New Flagship Products and Market Strategy

Looking Ahead: Future of Pursuit Spirits
and much more.

But the conversation quickly shifts to a spirited debate: what truly makes a bourbon wheated?
Show Notes:

Brian shares his initial experiences with wheated expressions
