It feels like it’s been a long time since we’ve seen a new batch of bourbon from Barrell. Since Batch 035’s release in 2023, there’s been a lot of things happening within the company. For starters, there appears to be a looming sense that Barrell isn’t doing well financially. In early 2024, the big news was that Barrell Craft Spirits appeared to be putting up their barrel-aging warehouse, most of their barrel inventory and one of their facilities for sale. Their large sales team was laid off as well. Rumors were rampant that Barrell had grew too fast, too soon and were close to collapsing. I was shocked.

When it comes to bourbon whiskey, there are a lot of different terms you need to know to be fluent in the language of this corn-based spirit. Some of the more confusing terms include “cask strength,” “proof,” “bottle-in-bond,” and “straight.” These phrases need a little bit of explaining. But one that seems fairly straightforward is “store-pick.” But is it?
