Perrineau, Lee, Chestnut and Diggs have joined forces with whiskey producer Bespoken Spirits to develop Sable, a bourbon with notes of mocha and dark chocolate that Diggs has characterized as an illustration of the quartet’s deep friendship.

“He might. Or he might not. If he doesn’t, we will always have Sable as our way of staying together as long as we can.”

In the nine years since the spill, the damaged pipeline was “evacuated, cleaned and preserved with inert nitrogen to maintain a corrosion-free state,” according to Steve Rusch, Sable’s vice president of environmental and regulatory affairs.

This year, Sable Offshore Corp., a Houston-based energy company, purchased the mothballed equipment and announced plans to restart oil extraction by the end of the year — including the failed pipeline.

But it later agreed to sell the Santa Ynez Unit platforms and pipelines to Sable in 2022.
