Barrell Craft Spirits has launched its Private Release Whiskey Series. Each batch in this series features a blend based around Barrell’s 18-year-old stocks of Kentucky Whiskey, which then finished in a secondary barrel or cask.
Founded in 2013, Barrell is known for sourcing and blending spirits at cask strength. The company released a similar Private Release Rum Series last July, which sold out in two months. This is their first whiskey-focused series.
“The Private Release Whiskey Series is hands down our most ambitious project to date,” says Company Founder Joe Beatrice. “We pride ourselves on pushing the creative envelope every day, exploring opportunities to source and blend outside the box, and showcase the world’s most exciting spirits.”
Because certain batches were purchased through retailers or clubs, or may only be available online, Barrell has added a special section to its website that contains the full list of bottles, and suggestions for where to buy.
Each Private Release Whiskey Series contains between 150-180 total whiskeys. The SRP for each 750-ml. bottle is $109.
