The Roadmap Series - Limited Edition Blends

Bourbon & Brushes isn’t releasing a whiskey and calling it done... We’re building a Roadmap!

Each release will mark a place, a lesson, a flavor philosophy. Some stops will be familiar. Others will surprise you. None of them will be rushed.

First Stop is exactly what it sounds like: A Limited Starting Point.

Once it’s gone, the Roadmap moves on!

Every journey has a beginning. 

Before the highways fill with destinations and detours, there is a first pull-off. A place where the road narrows, the air changes, and you decide whether you’re really in it for the long haul.

For us, that place is Florida… Not because it’s trendy… Because it’s home!!

Florida is misunderstood by people who only pass through it.

They see beaches and postcards.

We see backroads. Cane fields. Citrus groves. Swamps that breathe after dark. 

Heat that changes how flavor behaves. Humidity that demands balance. 

Smoke that hangs instead of rushing away.

Florida teaches patience... It teaches restraint.

It teaches you to respect what you build, or it will overpower you.

That’s why our first bourbon had to be made here.

First Stop isn’t about proving anything. It’s about setting the tone!

This bourbon was designed with intention, not just to sip neat, but to “become part of an experience”.

It’s built to:

• Stand up to smoke without losing itself
• Carry citrus oil instead of fighting it
• Hold structure in a classic Old Fashioned
• Reward slow hands and curious palates

That’s why we pair it with "Swamp Bite" Our smoked Old Fashioned inspired by Southwest Florida backwaters, where heat, citrus, oak, and patience collide.

This is a bourbon that WANTS to be worked with!

We don’t believe the story ends at the cork.

That’s why we’re offering Private Tasting Events and Small-group Courses!

This way guests can:

• Taste First Stop in guided pours
• Learn how we developed the flavor and blend
• Understand why certain notes were emphasized—and others held back
• Turn the bottle into a "Smoke-Driven Experience"
• Craft their own Swamp Bite step by step
• Take home a bottle of First Stop and a Bourbon & Brushes Smoke Kit

These aren’t lectures... They’re hands-on sessions built for people who want to PARTICIPATE, not just "Purchase".

First Stop is a limited run!

Not a marketing tactic… It’s a design choice.

We believe beginnings should be small enough to matter.

That means:

• Limited bottles
• Limited events
• Limited opportunities to be part of this chapter

Those who show up now won’t just remember the bourbon.

They’ll remember where they were when the Roadmap began!

So... If you’re the kind of bourbon drinker who:

• Likes knowing WHY something tastes the way it does
• Enjoys process as much as product
• Believes flavor is shaped by place
• Understands that the best journeys don’t rush the start

Then consider this your invitation.

Pack light... Sip slow... And don’t miss the first stop... The Roadmap has begun!
