JACKSONVILLE, FL-- DuBlasé Whiskey Founder and CEO, Darrin Eakins, is becoming a rising star in the spirits industry as he embodies entrepreneurship, leadership and philanthropy. 

DuBlasé Whiskey launched in the summer of 2021 and is soaring to new heights, expanding to new markets across the United States. “Our award-winning brand is sold in national retailers such as Total Wine, Sam’s Club, and ABC. Customers can also purchase DuBlasé online in 32 states. But that only scratches the surface of our legacy. There is much more to who we are and what we are” says Darrin Eakins, Founder CEO of DuBlasé Whiskey.

Darrin is a firm believer that DuBlasé is not only a spirit that brings together loved ones in celebration over a toast of a glass, but also a product good through philanthropy. A portion of annual sales is donated to the DuBlasé Foundation, a 501c3 foundation chaired by Darrin which focuses on empowering minority youth for a brighter future in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math fields of study through advocacy. 

Through Darrin’s leadership, DuBlasé the brand has partnered as a product of good with a number of national and local organizations such as: National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida A&M University, Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville, Museum of Contemporary Arts, Big Brother Big Sisters, K9s for Warriors, Children’s Home Society of Florida, Jacksonville Humane Society, The Cummer Museum and the United Negro College Fund. 

“It is important that DuBlasé leaves a legacy of good in the world. It’s after giving back where I find myself most fulfilled. DuBlasé is about celebrating life’s special moments with a toast of a glass and I am happy to celebrate all the great philanthropic initiatives that we are a part of” said Darrin. Throughout his career, Darrin has earned a number of awards, including being named Top 40 Under 40 by Florida A&M University (2023) and Top 20 Under 40 by the Florida Black Expo (2021).
