Forward/Slash

FORWARD/SLASH is a boutique distillery and blending house in historic Winter Park. It is owned and operated by beverage veterans Tim Bradstreet, a former bartender and corporate beverage director, and Michael Buffa, who also founded the Orlando Whiskey Society and Buffa Bittering Company.

The two bonded over whiskey and the stories behind it, from the farmers who grow the grain to the distillers pushing each cask forward. Their distillery is in the historic Holler building on South Capen Avenue.
