I'm a hugely satisfied Barrel King Gold Member. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered, but I've felt that one thing BK whiskey was missing was age/oak. Looks like that will no longer be the case. I know that you hang your hat on blending and finishing, but I wonder if you've considered buying some new toasted/charred barrels from, say, Kelvin Cooperage and eventually releasing a toasted or (my preference) a double oaked bourbon or rye? I know it would be a time/money investment, but the end product, in your hands, would undoubtedly be all kinds of amazing. Maybe you have already? I've only been a member since March. Cheers!

@spencerfalbo3659Ай бұрын
I was shocked that you were able to use the 11yr so quickly for blending. It super exciting and a welcome surprise. Based on how this turned out on a short time frame, do you think that it’s just going to be on banger after another this year (even though I know all BK is amazing it appears it is making it easier, right)?

Probably one of best things I have watched related to the process of blending. Appreciate the candidness in the video showing the ups and downs along with the time it takes to get a quality product. The amount of patience in this process is amazing and not for the faint of heart.
@barrelkingbourbon2 ай бұрын
A lot of disappointments and arguments are involved in great whisky. I have a little more time under my belt than some of my coworkers and with that I have learned to trust the process and that things can usually get better. I remember when I wanted to bottle things sooner in fear of making a mistake and losing something by improving. So I understand all of the points of view. I really appreciate all the brave teammates that give me everything they got on these blends and allow me to share with you. Thanks for all that you do for us Spencer ❤️ !

Btw... everyone wins an award in pay to play competitions. Awards don't really mean much when you have to pay to play.
@apeekintime2 ай бұрын
The Ascots are some of the worst awards - the fact they accept single barrels is just stupid. Also small release single batch products are dumb to award - they simply aren't available to buy. We aren't even half way through 2024 either... so you really can't name a best whiskey of 2024 yet - traditionally the best stuff comes out in the second half of the year (and yes I know they use a rolling calendar instead of a strict calendar - I'm just calling out the misnomer)

I took several of my BKs to a bottle share last weekend, universally Batch 81 was considered the best pour of the night. We have OWA picks, EHT picks, Jacob's Well 211 month Hardin's and a number of other really great pours there. Everyone LOVED all the BK bottles, but 81 was universally the "how do I get a bottle of this?!" Keep up the amazing work!
