FEW Spirits and Alice In Chains recently announced the reissue of All Secrets Known Bourbon, a limited-release expression distilled by FEW Spirits Master Distiller Paul Hletko in collaboration with the Seattle Grunge pioneers. Bottles feature a custom-designed label by artist Justin Helton.
All Secrets Known (SRP: $60/750 ml) is a reference to the title of track one on Alice In Chains’ fourth studio album Black Gives Way To Blue, which has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide.
For this special whiskey release, FEW Bourbon is finished for six months in tequila barrels and bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV). Official tasting notes suggest “bold, sweet, and spicy bourbon top notes are accentuated by grassy agave undertones.”
“Today, it gives me great pleasure to once again bring this whiskey to music fans everywhere, and to continue to merge these great passions of mine – distilling, and music – with legends like Alice in Chains,” said Hletko in a prepared statement. “Pour a glass of All Secrets Known, turn on your favorite track of theirs, and just enjoy the experience.”

Helton, of Status Serigraph, who is no stranger to working with musical giants like Phish, The Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket, Ween, and The Black Keys created the custom label. For the design, Helton found inspiration in the name All Secrets Known. The eye in the mouth graphic is a play on seeing all that’s been spoken, while the color scheme is a nod to the cover art on Black Gives Way to Blue.
This is not the first “rock and roll partnership” the distillery has done. In 2016, Hletko partnered with The Flaming Lips to create Brainville Rye Whiskey before connecting with Alice In Chains for the original release of All Secrets Known. In 2022, FEW teamed up with indie darlings Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for Motor Oil Whiskey, an American whiskey finished in rum and vermouth barrels.
“It’s hard to put into words how much fun it’s been to work with the bands,” Hletko said. “I’ve been a huge admirer of the band forever and in the same way musicians inspire one another, working with them inspired me as a distiller to do something different. I’m really excited to build on that legacy.”
