PERFECT PARTNERS. PERFECT PAIRINGS.
Our team members work hard, fish hard and play hard, like you do. We know there’s no better end to a long day on the water than relaxing with good friends, drink in hand, trading stories about the last adventure and planning the next one. An evening like this inspired our new American Spirit Series, partnering with some of today’s most innovative craft distillers and brewers. These kindred spirits are dedicated to achieving the same goal as Star Rods – to make legendary products that balance the application of modern technology with old-world, hands-on craftsmanship.
That’s something worth celebrating.
Around these parts, that’s what we call raising the bar.
Introducing Freshwater Series
Trailblazers never travel a straight line.
Whiskey blending trailblazers Kenny and Ryan became whiskey authorities through a decade of interviews and insider access from their #1 podcast: Bourbon Pursuit®. Now they are shaking up the industry, partnering with distilleries to blend award-winning whiskeys for the adventurous drinker. From blending different mashbills and barrel types to varying aging conditions, Cecil + Coleman whiskeys like Pursuit United® break free from tradition in pursuit of one-of-a-kind flavors.

Answering to a higher calling.
The Reverend® Sour Mash Corn Whiskey pays homage to seven generations of American distillers and whiskey makers. The Reverend Dan Call®, mentor to a young Jasper Daniel and friend to trailblazing distiller Nathan Green, gave up his stake in the Old No. 7® distillery to live the life of a preacher. However, his descendants carry on his legacy with The Reverend®, a hand-crafted, small-batch, sour mash whiskey, aged for over four years in new charred oak and first-fill bourbon casks, then refined and enhanced using a maple charcoal filtration process.
