Based in the heart of Lampasas, Texas, Cindy and Bill Flannery are dedicated bourbon and wine enthusiasts who have spent years traveling the winding roads of the American bourbon trail. From historic distilleries to hidden-gem tasting rooms, their journeys were filled with incredible pours and unforgettable memories. Yet, on every trip, they found themselves searching for the same thing: a premium, sustainable keepsake to bring home that truly captured the essence of their favorite spirits. Time and again, they noticed a glaring void in distillery gift shops—there was never a high-quality candle to be found. Driven by that missing piece, they decided to create their own by breathing new life into the very bottles they collected along the way. Bill and Cindy got to work and found their perfect niche, transforming empty bottles into premium, eco-friendly treasures. Bill meticulously cuts each bottle, while Cindy hand-sands and polishes them to a flawless finish. An expert artisan who has been crafting premium candles, beard oils, and body oils for nearly 30 years, Cindy knew exactly what the vision required. She didn't want to make ordinary, everyday scents like vanilla or pumpkin latte. Instead, she set out to curate sophisticated, complex fragrances designed to marry perfectly with their upcycled vessels—creating distinctive pieces that beautifully illuminate home bars, countertops, and living spaces.
