private barrel program
Our Private Barrel Program releases Single Barrels and custom Private Barrels.
Each single barrel is a true single barrel - bottled at cask strength without combining it with any other barrels, unlike Barrell batches, which are bottled from a selection of several barrels blended together to a specific flavor profile.
Each Private Barrel bottling is a custom creation, carefully crafted with intricate recipes measured down to the ounce to bring out the best in every component. Countless variables ensure that each expression is a truly exclusive and unique experience.
PRIVATE RELEASE BOURBON
Each is a blend of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana bourbons of four different ages combined in different ratios. After the initial blending, each expression is left to marry in a bourbon cask until the integration is perfect.

PRIVATE RELEASE RUM
We start by creating blends of rum from across the Caribbean, including rhum Agricole from Martinique and rums from Barbados, Jamaica, and Guyana. Then we marry them in a broad range of different single casks, many previously used to mature other spirits or wines.
