The Official Website of Hollis Bulleit Worth

It is with great joy and happiness that I would like to tell you that my father and I have reconciled.

For the majority of my young life, I was raised in Kentucky around Bourbon as a lifestyle and as one of my father’s great passions. While bourbon making and entrepreneurialism drove my dad’s ambitions, art fueled mine. I was lucky enough to travel to NYC often and go to art museums and I knew from a wee age that I was an artist. Dad always teases me about being an egghead, saying, “Hollis, if you are anything it’s not self-taught.” I am grateful for the time I spent studying studio art at Smith, Brandies, NYU, and The Institute for American Universities in Aix-En-Provence. My father is most proud of my All-American certificate in swimming, and was able to see me race the mile one last time in Atlanta.

I witnessed the birth of our family bourbon and worked in the industry for some time as the World Ambassador of Bulleit™ Brands. I would like to think I helped create diversity in the bourbon world to be more inclusive of women and LGBTQ2IA+. Inspired by my mothers, one a very private artist, and the other a gregarious socialite with a head for business and well known throughout her community. While working for the brand I was able to add to my mothers’ legacy when I was inducted into The Dame Hall of Fame at Tales of the Cocktail. Never leaving art far behind I was known for my hand painted bottles, linocuts, quirky embellished hats, buttons, and jewelry.

I am now pursuing my first career - art - on a lifetime journey of perfecting and evolving style continuing to teach myself and experimenting with new techniques. I live with my partner since 2007 (and now spouse), Cher, and my black cat Luca. I am happy and joyful, and yes, it is still my favorite thing in the whole wide world to laugh and to make others chuckle.
