Who They Are
Oh boy, how to explain Filmland Spirits?! They are a bourbon company. Nope, that’s not it.
They are an entertainment company. Nope, that’s not it either.
Filmland Spirits is just different. Movie buffs and storytellers who share a passion for whiskey. They’ve somehow figured out how to combine both their love and their passion into a successful venture selling darn good whiskey.
Each release from Filmland Spirits is themed by a movie concept. The star of the movies is not only the whiskey in the bottle, but the characters associated with the expression. There are various plots, monsters, robots, and, of course, heroes. Each bottle label sets the stage for a wonderful expression contained therein.
Filmland Spirits’ mission is to create “stories you can drink,” pairing their whiskeys with engaging films and setting them in a unique place in the increasingly crowded whiskey and bourbon market.

Filmland Spirits Quadraforce Bourbon (Tennessee Terra) Review: Tasting Notes
Nose – 4.5/5
The Nose is amazingly complex and a wonderfully sweet blend of apple, caramel, honey, and custard. The caramel is rich and buttery sweet. The honey note adds a bit of whimsical floral to the Nose.
Palate – 4/5
On the Palate, Quadraforce Bourbon delivers. Initially flavors of vanilla and almond nuttiness show up followed by tones of pear, honey, and light chocolate. The lower proof makes for an extremely smooth and approachable sip, which will be attractive to both enthusiasts and newcomers.
Finish – 3.5/5
The Finish has an oh-so-slight rye spice that lingers pleasantly. This is just the right balance of sweet and spicy as it creates a well-rounded and enjoyable aftertaste inviting back for another sip.
Value – 4.5/5
At $60 MSRP, Filmland Spirits Quadraforce is a value that shines. This unique blend of four bourbons and moderate price point makes this a high-value expression. Scanning the bottle’s QR code, enjoying a sip while you watch the accompanying story serves to enhance the experience. Well done, Filmland, very well done indeed!
