Black Feather Whiskey

What they make

• Started by three Utah-raised childhood friends, Jeremy Rawle, Jay Williams and Matthew Seegmiller; at its 2017 launch the bourbon came from Indiana allotments, was bottled in Houston and was run from a Salt Lake City headquarters.^[4]
• The lineup is an American bourbon, an American rye and a limited-release straight rye, all 86 proof, aged in new American white oak and cut to proof with Wasatch snowmelt water.^{[2][5][6][7][1]}
• The bourbon is a blend of two straight bourbons and took a Double Gold at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.^[5]

Visiting

• The bottle shop is small and stocks the whiskeys plus merch; the company calls the Pickett Circle space temporary.^[3]

Bottles to go

• Bottles are sold at the shop, where DABS lists a package agency (PA-604), the kind DABS says lets a distillery sell the bottled spirits it produces.^[3][8][9]
• Its where-to-buy list names many Utah state liquor stores, from Logan to St. George, plus a handful of bars and restaurants.^[10]

Utah lets a brewery, winery or distillery sell its own packaged products on site through a “Type 5” package agency^[9]; anything else comes from a state liquor store.

What locals say

• SLUG Magazine's 2017 profile pitched it as an affordable premium whiskey from hometown friends, already poured at Salt Lake spots like HSL, Manoli's and Water Witch.^[4]
