Single barrel pick programs
Kentucky Barrel Picks
A barrel pick is when you buy a whole barrel straight from a distillery. You taste through the options yourself, then put your own label on the bottles. Some programs are retailer only, a few are open to individuals and groups, and two run like a lottery.
Every number here links to where we got it. If we couldn't source it, we say we're still confirming.
