Independent bottler Two Souls Spirits recently announced their 2023 Spring Whiskey Collection.
A statement from the whiskey bottler noted that this collection of single-barrel whiskeys features two limited-releases from two award-winning craft distilleries … Watershed Distillery and Sutherland Distilling.
Two Souls Co-Founder James Estrada explained that both these whiskeys come 100% uncut and unfiltered, and are available exclusively for online purchase at www.twosoulsspirits.com.
“Our spring 2023 release is all about rarity and the story that each barrel has to tell. The first release in our new Ghost Barrel Series, the 6-year 100% corn bourbon from Sutherland Distilling is bourbon on steroids. It’s brash, sweet, and packs a serious punch … there’s no doubt you’re drinking a barrel proof whiskey.”
He noted that with Sutherland Distilling closing its doors permanently in February, this barrel represents the last remaining whiskey from that distillery.
And the American single malt from Watershed is a complete one-off as well, Estrada said, as they’ve never before released a single malt whiskey. “We were super lucky to get this barrel and be able to release it at cask strength. Also, the apple brandy barrel finish that we did adds a complex fruitiness that will remind people of a Sherry-cask Scotch. There’s just nothing else like it on the market.”
Two Souls Spirits follows the Scottish model of independent bottling by focusing on spirits from craft distilleries.
“We are committed to true collaboration and sharing our partner’s stories and products with a national audience,” said Co-Founder Chad Civetti. “Watershed is one of the most respected craft distilleries in the U.S., we couldn’t be happier to collaborate with them for this one-of-a-kind release.”

“And while we were hoping to continue our partnership with Sutherland, we’re excited to offer our customers the last remaining stocks of their finest bourbon,” he added. “Both of these distilleries are great examples of why we started Two Souls Spirits in the first place, to spread the word and make accessible the exceptional whiskies that American craft distilleries are producing.”
