To purchase a barrel of my own

[Rolling]

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.
