Founded in October 2021 in Chicago, Illinois, Alexander James Whiskey was created by Jesse Steward Jr. The brand is inspired by the friendship of his two grandfathers—men who bonded over conversation, storytelling, and a shared glass of whiskey. Named after his son, Alexander James reflects legacy, connection, and moments meant to be shared.
All Alexander James expressions are aged a minimum of four years in charred oak barrels and bottled to showcase bold flavor, balance, and character.
