Congratulations to our friend Dan Callaway. Lofton Spirits has named Callaway as Master Blender, recognizing his long-standing influence on the company’s innovation-driven whiskey program. Lofton Spirits is the parent company of Bardstown Bourbon Company and Green River Whiskey.

Callaway was previously Vice President of Product Development for Bardstown Bourbon Company.

Tapping into his background as a seasoned musician turned certified sommelier, Callaway brings a distinctive, almost “mad scientist” approach to blending, which has helped Bardstown Bourbon redefine modern whiskey. Under his leadership, the brand’s collaborative finishes and experimental blends have received widespread acclaim and top industry awards, earning the trust of both serious whiskey enthusiasts and curious new drinkers alike. — Lofted Spirits

“Dan approaches whiskey with a rare blend of creativity and precision – he’s a true visionary and one of the most forward-thinking blenders in American whiskey today,. As Master Blender, he’ll continue shaping the future of our innovative brands and pushing the boundaries of what American whiskey can be.”
