Let's celebrate them with a toast.

“Derrick Adams is a superstar in his own right. We trust his vision. Just as he wouldn’t hang something on the wall unless it’s 100%, we wouldn’t put anything on the shelf unless it met that same standard.”

- Swizz Beatz

Derrick Adams (b. 1970, Baltimore, MD) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York.

He received his BFA from Pratt University, New York in 1996 and graduated with an MFA from Columbia University, New York in 2003.

Adams has held numerous teaching positions and is currently a tenured assistant professor in the School of Visual, Media and Performing Arts at CUNY Brooklyn College and has received an Honorary Doctorate from MICA.

Adams celebrates and expands the dialogue around contemporary black life and culture through scenes of normalcy and perseverance.

He has developed an iconography of joy, leisure and the pursuit of happiness within a practice that encompasses paintings, sculptures, collages, performances, videos and public projects.

Adams synthesizes representational imagery with planar Cubist geometry to produce multifaceted figures and faces that address the richness of the black experience.

Our unique 21 year old single malt whiskey was initially matured in the finest ex-bourbon oak casks before being transferred into 250 litre Oloroso Hogshead casks. To add complexity and even further layers of flavour we then transferred the whiskey into four custom made 128 litre casks.

We chose Oloroso, Amontillado, Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel casks for their rich and individual flavour profiles. Inspired by The Masked Pioneer, we ourselves became pioneers in exploring the possibilities in the art of Irish whiskey maturation.
