Nulu Maple Brulee Wheated Bourbon is a limited-release, single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey aged for 7–8 years, then finished in barrels that previously held maple syrup and were re-toasted to caramelize residual sugars. Bottled by Prohibition Craft Spirits at high proof (often 109–120+ proof), it features rich, dessert-like notes of maple syrup, vanilla, and toasted oak.

Founder & President
KEITH HAZELBAKER
Keith founded Prohibition Craft Spirits Distilling Company (PCS) in 2016. To say he is passionate about PCS is an understatement — it’s what he lives for. Not many people get to do what they love, but Keith does. It’s that enthusiasm that drives him as the leader of the whole PCS team.
Our Beginning
Rooted in Family
The Journey of PCS Distilling Company
In June 2015, a pair of amateur distillers sat down with Keith Hazelbaker, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™, to talk about a concept for a new craft-distilled spirits company. One thing was clear to Keith, these guys were in over their heads. Keith offered to work closely alongside the amateur distillers and it became clear that he had found his passion. By the time 2016 rolled around, Keith had purchased the fledgling company, and Prohibition Craft Spirits Distilling Company was born. Keith soon brought his son, Carson Hazelbaker, on board and began to make this business a family endeavor.Shaking Things Ups
A New Kind of Craft Distillery
During the early years, they made and distilled vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, and moonshine. They released a small batch of sugar cane vodka, a small batch of 14-botanical gin, and a small batch of blackstrap molasses rum. Shortly after, they released a bourbon barrel-aged tequila. They planned to proliferate these brands and establish some roots in the industry while they waited for their bourbon to mature.
The palate is generally described as thick and decadent, with prominent notes of maple, vanilla bean, burnt sugar, and a lingering oak finish.
