The Single Cask Series
The Single Cask Playlist Series from The Beautiful and the Damned celebrates the intersection of extraordinary whiskey and the music that has defined generations. Each release begins with an individually selected barrel, chosen for its distinctive character, depth and complexity. Bourbon, rye, or something entirely unexpected—what matters is the quality of the whiskey and the story it has to tell.
The series features four distinct expressions, each inspired by a different chapter in music history:
ANALOG — Inspired by the grunge movement. Raw, unpolished and unapologetically authentic. A tribute to distorted guitars, quiet tension and the beautiful imperfections that made a generation's music impossible to ignore.

RAMBLING SPIRIT — A celebration of the golden age of rock and roll, inspired by the legendary sound and restless spirit of Led Zeppelin. Heavy riffs, wandering souls and music that was never meant to be played quietly.

ELECTRIC DELTA — Born from the blues. A tribute to the journey from the Mississippi Delta to the electrified sound that changed American music forever. Grit, soul and the unmistakable power of a guitar telling the truth.

But what makes this series truly special is who gets to create each release.
Our retail partners, bars, restaurants and private clubs are invited to participate in the selection process. Each chooses its own individual barrel from our available inventory, selecting the whiskey that best represents its tastes and customers. That might be an exceptional bourbon, a beautifully aged rye, or another distinctive whiskey worthy of a single-cask release. Then comes the artwork. Each partner selects one of our four music-inspired label designs, giving its chosen barrel a visual identity that reflects the spirit of the series. The whiskey and the label are selected independently. A bourbon might wear Analog. A rye might carry Electric Delta. The possibilities are as individual as the barrels themselves.
Each release also features a companion playlist, accessible through a QR code or the links above, connecting the whiskey to the music that inspired its presentation. Pour a glass, put on the music and experience them together.
Specs
Each release is as individual as the barrel behind it. Whiskey type, mash bill, age, proof and other specifications vary by selection. Every cask is hand-selected by the participating retailer, bar, restaurant or private club, making each bottling a unique, limited expression. Refer to the individual bottle for its specific details.
Tasting Notes
No two barrels tell the same story. From rich, oak-driven bourbons to bold, spice-forward ryes and everything in between, each selection offers its own distinct aroma, flavor and finish. Tasting notes are unique to the individual cask and reflect the character of the whiskey selected.
