Barrell Craft Spirits Ambassador

Barrell Craft Spirits was founded by Joe Beatrice. “Instead of building his own distillery, Joe questioned the conventional wisdom and took a different course. He sourced and blended exceptional casks from established producers, bottled whiskeys at cask strength, and sold them as transparently as possible. That approach was unique in the United States, but not the world. Scotland’s long-established independent bottlers were a major inspiration, and Joe was captivated by their ability to elevate barrels of whisky into something greater than the sum of their parts. He sensed that American consumers, too, would embrace the chance to explore whiskey in an entirely new way.” (From the website) Jessica is presenting some different batches of Barrell Bourbon and discussing the process that Barrell uses to select and blend the Bourbons they buy to bring you the tasty finished products they offer.
