Single barrel pick programs

Kentucky Barrel Picks

Compare programs for selecting a private barrel of bourbon. Eligibility, purchase route, tasting options and bottle commitments vary by distillery. Some programs require a retailer partner. Others accept individuals or groups.

Every number here links to where we got it. If we couldn't source it, we say we're still confirming.

The programs

20 programs tracked. 18 in Kentucky, 2 across the river in Indiana. Of 120 tracked facts, 33 are confirmed on an official page, 33 are reported by trade press or retailers, and 54 are still being confirmed.

This directory helps you arrange a private selection. It does not track individual store-pick bottles in stock. Ask the retailer about bottle availability. Bottle-fill experiences are labeled separately and are not whole-barrel programs.
