The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
The Fortuna brand carries deep Kentucky roots, once ranked among the most sought-after and well-regarded whiskey names in the state. Founded by Phil Hollenbach in the 1870s, Fortuna has been revived as a sour mash whiskey that pays homage to its 19th-century origins while offering a modern, accessible pour.
Expect a classic sour mash profile: notes of caramel, vanilla and toasted grain on the nose, with a smooth, well-balanced palate that finishes warm and clean. It's a whiskey that connects drinkers to a piece of pre-Prohibition Kentucky whiskey history in an easy-drinking modern package.
Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a classic whiskey sour or Old Fashioned. Pair it with smoked meats, aged cheese or roasted nuts for a simple, satisfying pairing.
Order this historic Kentucky sour mash whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop and revisit a storied 1870s brand.
What To Expect In The Glass
Whiskey
Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
