He was the third generation to produce 'Old Pepper' whiskey, \"The Oldest and Best Brand of Whisky made in Kentucky,\" founded in 1780 during the American Revolution. His namesake distillery in Lexington, Kentucky was at one point the largest whiskey distillery in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn avid and noted horseman, Col. Pepper operated the finest stable in Kentucky. His thoroughbreds competed in the Kentucky Derby and in races across America and throughout Europe. He traveled in an ornate private rail car named \"The Old Pepper,\" painted with images of his famed whiskey label, and he spent a considerable amount of time in Manhattan, where he would travel to promote his brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring his visits to New York, often at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Colonel Pepper was known to socialize with other American captains of industry, including John D. Rockefeller, Theodore Roosevelt, C.V. Vanderbilt, Charles A. Pillsbury, Fred Pabst, Charles L. Tiffany, \u0026amp; William Steinway. It was at the Waldorf that Colonel Pepper is credited with introducing the world to the “Old Fashioned” cocktail, which was said to have been invented in his honor by a bartender at the famed Pendennis Club in Louisville.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Colonel was a staunch advocate for the whiskey business.

Pepper (1850-1906), Master Distiller, was a larger-than-life Bourbon Industrialist and flamboyant promoter of his family brand. He was the third generation to produce 'Old Pepper' whiskey, \"The Oldest and Best Brand of Whisky made in Kentucky,\" founded in 1780 during the American Revolution. His namesake distillery in Lexington, Kentucky was at one point the largest whiskey distillery in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn avid and noted horseman, Col. Pepper operated the finest stable in Kentucky. His thoroughbreds competed in the Kentucky Derby and in races across America and throughout Europe. He traveled in an ornate private rail car named \"The Old Pepper,\" painted with images of his famed whiskey label, and he spent a considerable amount of time in Manhattan, where he would travel to promote his brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring his visits to New York, often at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Colonel Pepper was known to socialize with other American captains of industry, including John D. Rockefeller, Theodore Roosevelt, C.V. Vanderbilt, Charles A. Pillsbury, Fred Pabst, Charles L. Tiffany, \u0026amp; William Steinway. It was at the Waldorf that Colonel Pepper is credited with introducing the world to the “Old Fashioned” cocktail, which was said to have been invented in his honor by a bartender at the famed Pendennis Club in Louisville.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Colonel was a staunch advocate for the whiskey business.

Matthew remembers it being the most delicious and unique drink he’d ever tasted. For decades, he reminiscence about the night he tasted that amazing spirit; not sweet, a hint of citrus, somewhat herbaceous. He searched liquor stores and tasted all kinds of bottles, but he never found anything that approached the elixir he remembered….Until…\u003cbr\u003eFour decades later, during the height of the COVID pandemic, Matthew had a little downtime. An idea struck. Soon, his Los Angeles kitchen was strewn with Mason jars, citrus graters, spice grinders, lemons, and bunches of fresh herbs. He worked for weeks, refined his process, and finally poured a glass for his skeptical housemate Marc. His reaction was instantaneous. Matthew had somehow turned a handful of basic ingredients into gold. \u003cbr\u003eAfter Marc and Matthew shared a bottle with their friend Bruce, a serious\u003cbr\u003eplan was hatched and they got to work. Using dozens of hand-zested lemons, bunches of hand-chopped herbs, and bowls of hand-ground spices, a final prototype batch was ready (the 22nd recipe). Magical, smooth, and complex, their creation was easy to sip on its own—straight from the freezer or at room temperature. It was also dynamite as a mixer for cocktails. It paired brilliantly with sodas, tonics, juices, and sparkling wine, and it also breathed new life into the classics, like the Negroni, the Bloody Mary, and the Mule. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1620686896784_233\" data-controller=\"HeaderOverlay\" class=\"Site-inner Site-inner--index\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1620686896784_100\" class=\"Content-outer\"\u003e\u003cmain data-controllers-bound=\"IndexFirstSectionHeight, Parallax, IndexNavigation\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1620686896784_232\" data-controller=\"IndexFirstSectionHeight, Parallax, IndexNavigation\" data-collection-id=\"5cdad82e3c551100010587ae\" class=\"Index\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-edit-main-image=\"Background\" data-parallax-id=\"5cdade7feb39313ebc3552ed\" data-collection-id=\"5cdade7feb39313ebc3552ed\" class=\"Index-page\" id=\"what-is-bacanora\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Index-page-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"page-5cdade7feb39313ebc3552ed\" data-updated-on=\"1558085185606\" data-type=\"page\" class=\"sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sqs-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1557848511771_36885\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE TEAM \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/7658\/3489\/files\/FoundersPhoto_480x480.jpg?v=1674500859\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDowntime Cocktails, Inc., which created, owns, and manages the Batch 22 brand, is owned and operated by three equal partners. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarc Marosi, Business Development\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Newport Beach native, Marc is a tech-savvy real estate entrepreneur who brings many years of business experience to the team.

Not the outback. Melbourne is the foodie capital of Australia, where we ditch the airs and graces and focus on flavour instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's why we use red wine barrels to mature our whisky. We source all our whisky ingredients from just a day's drive away. Then, in the wildly varied Melbourne weather, our whisky draws out its signature fruity, delicious flavour in just three short years. We call this elemental maturation and it's why we couldn't make our whisky anywhere else.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eMETHOD\u003cbr\u003eRules aren't our thing usually. But there are a few guiding principles we stick by.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first is flavour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe chose Australian malted barley, fermented with brewers' yeast for Nova and Solera because of the tropical fruit character it gives to our whisky. Then for Two-Fold, wheat's dry, aromatic character offered perfect balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next is provenance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe source every ingredient from just a day's drive away. By working closely with growers, winemakers, farmers, traders and maltsters we keep an eye on new varieties to make sure Starward produce is the best quality produce possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe carefully select barrels from nearby wineries for a minimal intervention approach. As it's a quick turnaround between barrels being disgorged then filled with our whisky, barrels only need a quick cleansing blast of steam or light char before being filled with spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eMATURATION\u003cbr\u003eAustralian winemakers had the audacity to take on the old world of wine. So why couldn't we do the same with whisky?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhiskies had used wine barrels as a starter or a finisher before. But no-one had clocked the packs-a-punch flavour you can extract from full wine barrel maturation. We felt it was time to go big, or go home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe carefully select wine barrels that are soaked in flavour. Think bold, full-bodied Aussie reds like shiraz and cabernet for Two-Fold and Nova. Or rich fortified Apera for our Solera.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, Melbourne's weird and wonderful weather takes over. Blasts of arctic breeze from the south and harsh desert winds from the north have given our city a reputation for experiencing 'four seasons in a day'. The weather does incredible things to our whisky, as the fluctuating temperatures means our whisky interacts with the barrel at a much more rapid rate than it would in Scotland. It's also a lot drier here, which increases our whisky's ABV instead of decreasing it. This means the weather would ruin our drop if left for much longer (trust us, we tried).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1622841428187_280\" class=\"row sqs-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-7 span-7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-33a4c5d05089eedab43e\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1554964534442_70245\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eMASTER DISTILLER \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eOUR FOUNDER\u003cbr\u003eDavid Vitale is our founder and he started this mighty adventure with a simple vision; to create a uniquely Australian whisky we can offer the world with pride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing up in Melbourne, in a big Italian family, he's always been food obsessed without ever getting too serious or formal about it.
