What’s in a name? A Fifth of a Fifth was named when our founding drummer showed up to a jam session with friends with a mostly finished bottle of whiskey – or a “Fifth of a Fifth.” You know you are among friends when you can show up to a party with a mostly finished bottle of whiskey, and be welcomed with open arms. (It’s helps it was a nice Single Malt……)
