The Hotel Tango Back Story

9/11 had a profound impact on young Travis Barnes. He enlisted, learned discipline and post boot camp was sent to Iraq. Three tours, extensive combat, medals and citations later, he knew the importance of surrounding yourself with people you can depend on. Honorably discharged, he attended and graduated law school, met his future wife and married her in 2012. In the twists and turns of life, he started making whiskey, applying the rigor, precision he learned while serving his country. His whiskey is a resounding success and he wonders if it is good enough to build a company on.
Travis, Hilary and friends started Hotel Tango in 2014. To honor Travis’s military service, they named it based on the NATO phonetic alphabet – Hotel for Hilary and Tango for Travis. Surrounding themselves with exceptional people at every level, they focus on crafting equally exceptional spirits. Spirits that reflect Travis’s exacting standards. Spirits that are fit to serve – made to share.
