About Off Hours

This is a bourbon for life. For afternoon relaxations and late night conversations, we raise a glass to all of it and then some. Off Hours Bourbon is meant to engage our senses and change perceptions. It's not about preconceived notions of artisanal cocktails and dimly lit bars. It's for everyone, everywhere.

So cheers to more inspiration. More real-life connections. More easygoing hangs, and less expectations. More time outdoors, less time behind our screens. After a long week or just because. Find the time and the moments in between. Find them with us in the Off Hours.

Modern design meets premium liquid, age, and versatility to appeal to enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. Bartender-approved and supported among iconic hospitality teams. At these prices and proofs, expertly balanced 6-year and 7-year Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys are rare values among craft whiskey, designed to provide the ideal profile and ABV for both classic and creative recipes.

The Founders

Off Hours was born in Indiana, where founder Jake Ireland grew up alongside America's leading master coopers, distillers, and blenders. He launched Off Hours in 2020 to craft a whiskey for the next generation of drinkers who want to enjoy America's most iconic spirit: affordable, delicious, and without any divisive characteristics.

How Off Hours makes its spirits

Off Hours is blended by one of the first and most prolific female master blenders in the industry. Now proudly distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky in partnership with Bluegrass Distillery in Midway, in some of the best water and whiskey-aging climate in the world.

Every barrel is Alligator Char, a deep char rather than economical flash charring, for bold, award-winning flavor. A direct line to the cooperage means American Oak "dead fall" wood, sourced sustainably from across the country.
