About the Axis

Most good things in life come from our friends. Like an appreciation for the finest spirits from California to Campbeltown.

When we move apart, we draw our bonds across countries and continents, and share what we love with new friends.

That’s the axis. Ours stretches from the shores of Lake Michigan (Thane McDram and J.T. Rickhouse, Chicago) to the shores of the Pacific (Baldo Oakstave, LA).

We launched Axis of Whisky to share musings and reviews on the booze we love. You’ll find write-ups on old classics, rarities, up-and-comers, and more. Wherever you are, we invite you to pour a glass, join us, and enjoy.
