Hearts & Barrels was created from something deeper than whiskey, it was created from love, family, and our son, Daxton.

Daxton was born with congenital heart disease, a fight no child should ever have to face. Our lives quickly became filled with hospital rooms, surgeries, uncertainty, and learning just how strong a little heart can be. Today, Daxton continues that fight as he waits for a heart transplant, showing more courage than most adults ever will.

As parents, watching your child battle for their life changes everything. It reshapes what matters and pushes you to find purpose in the pain. Hearts & Barrels was born from that purpose.

Our mission is to use our platform, our community, and our love for whiskey to raise awareness and support children with congenital heart disease and the families walking this road beside them. Through events, partnerships, and shared stories, we work to bring hope, resources, and light to families living through their hardest days.

When you support Hearts & Barrels, you’re standing with children fighting for their future and families learning to survive one day at a time. You’re helping turn fear into strength and heartbreak into hope.

This is our why.

This is Daxton’s story.

And this is how we fight, together.
