As part of the same small circle of elite Kentucky distillers, they bonded over their shared passion for whiskey making. BLACKENED’s founding partner and late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell was a longtime friend of the Kulsveen family. Like all great whiskies, this collaboration took years to come to fruition. ![]()
