To purchase a barrel of my own

Where would someone go to buy an entire unbottled barrel of whiskey? I can't say I always wanted one, but as my palette has grown more refined I would love to let a barrel slowly mature for a few extra years in my own nice cool storage and share with friends for years to come.

There are some whiskers and bourbons I like and some I'm not so fond of, I'm curious if distilleries would even entertain selling raw product or if it's even legal!

I'm with you on the barrel! Don't think it's legal but what do I know. Alaska? You might need a place to keep it warm. lol

Buy a used empty barrel from a distiller, and let it set out in the sun, it will pull the whiskey out of the wood, and collect in the barrel. And it will also knock you on your ass....lol

Looks like on the Jack websight it runs around $10k plus shipping and taxes. They bottle it for you, I was hoping to let it age in the barrel for a decade or so.

Can you imagine what a conversation piece that would be?

What's that? Oh nothing...just my ten thousand dollar barrel of whiskey. What? You don't have one?

However, jack wasn't high on my list of whiskeys to own a barrel of. But it gives me a clue on price (yikes!) and I'm gonna hafta save a little.

Here in PA Jack single barrel is around $40 a bottle so $10,000 is reasonable. I'd think for a price they'd age it as long as your check book is. What do you think the revnuers cut is? lol

I think Jack Daniels is the only whiskey that you can purchase buy the barrel.

 

Correct. When you purchase a barrel, they bottle it for you. You not only have an authentic Jack Daniels barrel (they are only used one and then shipped to England to be used in making scotch), but you also have a full pallet of Jack Single Barrel sitting in your house. You also get your name on a metal name card that gets displayed in in the Single Barrel room. It's interesting to see companies that have bought multiple barrels. The one that comes to mind is the military (specifically the Marines). I think the last time I was there they had purchased 20+ barrels. There are also a bunch of actors and musicians that have bought barrels and you can see all of their names there too.

 

If you are ever in Nashville I would definitely suggest driving down to Lynchburg and visiting Jack Daniels. Plus it's free to tour. There is also The Bourbon Trail in southern Kentucky. You can tour Makers Mark, Wild Turkey, Jim Beam, Woodford Reserve, Heaven Hill and Four Roses distilleries all in a day.

Not sure who sells them, but shipping up here for something that size and weight would be outrageous!!! I also live in Anchorage and shipping anything to anchorage is ridiculous....unless you find it on Amazon!!!

I went down the club last night and told a few guys about the Jack barrels. Everybody liked the idea of having your own barrel! We talked about what we would do if we could buy one! Not one person knew you could. It was almost as much fun as talking trucks! lol.

when working at dollywood we would get used barrels from JD to use as trash cans and all sorts of things in the park. sometimes they would have a bit left in the bottom, they came corked.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
