Calling all bourbon enthusiasts! We’re excited to announce our new Adopt a Barrel program. This is a unique opportunity to taste barrel-strength bourbon as it ages at the Craft Valley Network Studio Tour, held annually on the Friday before Thanksgiving. You’ll also get exclusive first access to purchase and bottle barrel-strength bourbon. Best of all, the empty barrel is yours to keep!
The all-inclusive experience includes a farm tour and tasting of still-strength corn whiskey from a recently filled barrel with Pathfinder Farm whiskey glasses. Your crew adopting the barrel can sign it and check up on its maturation the weekend before Thanksgiving during the Valley Craft Network Studio Tour. We’ll pull a sample for comparison and set a follow-up date to check on the barrel’s progress. We’ll age the bourbon in our secure rickhouse with full temperature changes through the seasons.
When we meet and agree collectively the bourbon is ready for release you get the first choice of the quantity of bottles at barrel
strength. You can assist with hand-filling bottles using our whiskey thief. If you want to take a larger quantity you can assist with dumping the barrel, labeling, and running the bottling machine. One 15-gallon barrel will yield approximately 67 750mL bottles and will reach maturity in 10-18 months.
You receive a 10% discount on all bottles purchased from your barrel.
375mL barrel strength bottles cost $45 each, $40.50 with discount
750mL barrel strength bottles cost $85 each, $76.50 with discount
After we empty the barrel, it’s yours to keep as a memento of our bourbon journey together.
$450 for our premier barrel experience.
