This is where you buy the barrel at fill and then at some point have the option of taking posesssion or selling it back to the distillery. This is something we've actaully talked about doing but that's as far as it's gone...just talk. We would have to find a distillery that would be open to that kind of arrangement.<br /><br />The Willett wheater is awesome. This recent bottling is the 6th wheater we've done with the previous iterations being three 17 year old and two 18 year old....all are fantastic. This coming April we'll be tasting through another flight of wheaters at KBD that will be 9 years old at that time. <br /><br />If you happen to be in the D.C. area, be sure to drop me a note.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-25968628325938648782013-01-28T15:28:29.198-05:002013-01-28T15:28:29.198-05:00Hey Greg,

Do any distilleries have a barrel program where one could purchase a barrel as it's filled rather than after it's been aged? <br /><br />Great post. That Willett wheater sounds like one I would love.SteveBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203167407546384904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-23191745777646399372013-01-25T22:00:56.955-05:002013-01-25T22:00:56.955-05:00Castelletti - If you're asking about the group...Castelletti - If you're asking about the group I'm associated with, what we buy the membership consumes. If you're interested in a personal barrel purchase, the best thing to do is get a group of guys together to go in on a single barrel (that's how we started). I know a number of groups that do this and it's pretty informal. The distilleries I visit all have Barrel Programs with a rep so calling them and talking to the rep would be the first step. I have friends that purchase their own barrels but I know this is the extreme. Another option is if you have a local liquor store, they might be interested in sharing the purchase with the bottles personalized for their business. That way, the bulk of the cost is shared by them. Just some options to think about.
