The undisputed carnivore of the Bespoken lineup. Borderline feral and unapologetically savory, our bourbon is complex and boisterous from shotgun start to marathon finish. A medal winner at the 2020 ADI Awards, and the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, but we don’t need to list them. This dram speaks for itself.
If you’re a fan of robust bourbons packed with new charred American Oak flavor, Bespoken Bourbon is your new sidekick. Pairs well with grilled meat and people who know what they want.

We do this by re-imagining and replacing the antiquated, and wasteful barrel aging process with sustainable science and technology. Bespoken’s proprietary ACTivation technology makes it possible to extract the key elements of the barrel that enhance aroma, color and taste (ACT) but with precision, control, and speed. The process is all natural, and sustainable, using only the traditional elements of spirit, wood, and char and never any additives for flavoring or coloring. The result is 97% less wood consumption, 20% more spirit yield (no angels share), and most importantly, award winning tastes.
Martin is a materials scientist and foodie, Stu is a seasoned entrepreneur. Martin hatched the idea, Stu saw the potential, the rest is history. Martin and Stu founded Bespoken Spirits® on the premise that a spirit’s color, aroma, and most importantly taste, could be designed, engineered, and precisely controlled with modern science, technology, and data. Rather than putting the spirit in a barrel and waiting passively for nature to take its course, Bespoken instills the barrel in the spirit, actively controlling the process to deliver premium quality custom spirits in days rather than years. Martin can elaborate on all the science that makes this possible, but Stu encourages you to just taste it and see for yourself.
