Bourbon Trading Cards

Welcome to the unique intersection of
fine whiskey culture and nostalgic collectible art.

A Love for Art and Bourbon

 

Bourbon Trading Cards is more than just a business; it’s a passion project born from family, art, and a genuine love of good bourbon. Our journey began when I sought a new outlet for my lifelong dedication to architectural drawing.

My son, Brent, a certified bourbon steward, encouraged me to channel that expertise into illustrating bourbon bottles. Then, inspiration struck during baseball season: why not transform these detailed illustrations into hand-crafted trading cards, just like the ones we grew up collecting?

Every single card you receive is truly hand-made: illustrated on an iPad, then individually printed, laminated, and trimmed right here in our studio.

Our Mission

 

Our mission is to be an art marketing studio that promotes the beauty and rich history of the whiskey world through collectible art.

We aim to:

  • Celebrate the Craft: Showcase the design and unique stories behind iconic bourbon bottles and brands.
  • Provide a Collectible Experience: Offer a high-quality, hand-made product that appeals to both whiskey enthusiasts and trading card collectors.
  • Encourage Connection: Create a community where collectors can trade, share, and appreciate the art of bourbon.
 
Don ColangeloOwner & Founder of Bourbon Trading Cards

For years, my professional life centered around the precision and detail of architectural drawing. When Brent suggested using my drafting skills to capture the distinct character of bourbon bottles, a new hobby instantly turned into a new business Bourbon Trading Cards.

We combine the dedication of a lifelong artist with the passion of a bourbon steward to produce these unique collectibles. While we are an artistic work and not affiliated with or endorsed by any beverage brand, every card is created with deep respect and admiration for the brands they represent.
