Grander 8 Year Old "META Louisville Private Barrel Selection" Single Barrel Panama Rum

Opened in 2013 by Jeremy Johnson, the cocktail bar Meta was Louisville's crown jewel for late-night imbibing for over a decade. What launched Meta into the national spotlight was an act of pure, unorthodox provocation: Johnson created the Pappy Van Winkle Jello Shot, a stunt born of genuine frustration with bourbon elitism that earned him actual death threats, but also landed the bar in Esquire, Playboy, Imbibe, Food & Wine, and the Today Show. Irreverent to the end, Meta sadly closed its doors in March 2026, ending an era in the city's cocktail culture. K&L has acquired the very last remaining bottles of Meta's storied private barrel selections, including this exclusive cask of Grander Panama Rum.
