What's in a name? For us, Allens Ordinary is a tribute to our founder's fifth great grandfather, Isham Allen, who founded the iconic Six-Mile Ordinary over 200 years ago. This Virginia tavern served as a place of refuge for early Americans, and an escape from everyday life. The legacy lives on today, right here in Columbia.

Our barrels were born to age bourbon, but they also make pretty great props to show off our Tavern Keep spirits. Take a look: https://bit.ly/2J8H9mB.

How is bourbon made, exactly? We'll give you the cliff notes: The process starts by creating mash from a mixture of grains: At least 51% corn plus some wheat, barley or even rye. Bourbon is then distilled and aged in brand new, charred oak barrels for at least two years before being bottled and enjoyed. It's an art and a science, and we're loving every minute.
