Announcing the next evolution of the acclaimed Captain’s Table series. NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Star Trek Spirits™ today announces the next evolution of its acclaimed Captain’s Table series, a premium single-barrel whiskey program defined by exploration, precision craftsmanship, and exceptional quality. Following a celebrated inaugural 10-barrel release, the Star Trek Spirits™ Captain’s Table now embarks on Mission Two—an expanded pursuit of rare, meticulously selected single barrels in partnership with Nashville Barrel Company.

This next chapter broadens the series’ reach while reinforcing its commitment to uncompromising quality, refined curation, and distinctive American whiskey.

New Captains. New Vessel. New Mission.

The Star Trek Spirits™ Captain’s Table now enters its next phase under the leadership of Co-Captains Mike Hinds and James Davenport, whose reputation for exceptional single-barrel selections will guide the series through an evolving portfolio of rare and expressive American whiskeys.

Each release is:

• Hand-selected from premium casks
• Limited single barrel
• Chosen for exceptional flavor, balance, and character

The series’ signature presentation remains a defining element. Every bottle is housed in a custom white octagonal collector’s case, accompanied by an illuminated display base and a detachable magnetic medallion granting access to exclusive tastings and private events. The result is a premium whiskey experience crafted for discerning collectors and dedicated enthusiasts alike.
