A masterfully crafted whiskey deserves a moniker to match, and ours shares the name of the most prolific jazz musician of all time, Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter. The King of the 12-String has deep roots in Deep Ellum, and not just in music— he once ran moonshine with blues legend Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Sharing a name with a legend is a lot to live up to, and we put in the work to craft a true Grain-to-Glass whiskey worthy of the honor. A grain bill boasting 49% unmalted barley lends peppery notes, marrying with plenty of Oak and a smooth, chocolatey finish. It’s 43% Alcohol by volume, and 100% spectacular in flavor. We couldn’t be prouder of our flagship whiskey.
