OFF HOURS Bourbon
Off Hours is a newly launched modern bourbon founded by entrepreneur and father of two, Jake Ireland. This is a bourbon our readers will like to know about! It is sure to become a new American classic and will be a welcome addition to your home bar.
Jake Ireland grew up in Indiana, close by to the distillery that Off Hours currently sources barrels from. He went to Indiana University and started his career in healthcare and then moved into venture capital investments. During his time spent in this field, Jake was able to invest in and become an owner in a bourbon brand where he learned a host of lessons on both what works and what to avoid in order to breakthrough in the hyper competitive spirits industry. Jake founded Off Hours after years of perfecting the product and launched the brand in 2020. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Lauren and two children, Evan and Ella.
Off Hours is a smooth and balanced bourbon with hints of nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. It is aged to perfection in American white oak barrels at MGP Distillery for over 5 years in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. It is now available for purchase at drinkoffhours.com (SRP: $46.95 for a 750ml bottle).
