Official Bourbon Launch: The Garden Reserve & The Garden Select

Be among the first to taste the spirit of victory.

You are cordially invited to an exclusive evening celebrating the official launch of two groundbreaking new bourbons from Johnnies Collective and Bespoken Spirits.

The Star of the Show: The Garden Reserve We are proud to announce that our flagship release, The Garden Reserve, has just been crowned 2025 Best in Class Straight Bourbon at the prestigious New York World Spirits Competition.

Clocking in at a bold 114 Proof (57% ABV), this straight bourbon is finished with Bespoken’s signature oak staves. It offers a lavishly crafted profile that balances distinct oak notes with an enduring warmth. It isn’t just a drink; it is a tribute to the dynamic energy of New York and the spirit of St. John's.

The Crowd Pleaser: The Garden Select Alongside our award-winner, we are debuting The Garden Select. Crafted with the same dedication to quality, this accessible pour serves as the perfect entry point into our new collection.

Drink Well, Do Good This isn't just about great bourbon—it's about the future of New York sports. Both spirits were created in collaboration with Johnnies Collective, meaning every sip supports Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for St. John’s University student-athletes.
