Barrel Global has launched the Kentucky Bourbon Retreat, a luxury experience for American whiskey enthusiasts.
The retreat will offer participants the opportunity to distill their own barrels of bourbon to be aged and bottled to their specifications. Over the experience, guests will spend three days in Kentucky alongside an experienced distiller.
Barrel Global founder George Koutsakis said: “Bourbon distilling has captivated a global audience, and this experience allows retreat attendees to step into the highly coveted role of “distiller” for a day under the careful tutelage of a highly trained distilling expert while respecting the traditions, legacies, and expertise that these notable craftspeople bring to the industry.”
The Kentucky Bourbon Retreat is launched in partnership with Casey Jones Distillery, with plans to expand to future partners in the coming months.
Designed as a group experience, the retreat package includes participation throughout the distilling process, from mashing to barrelling, as well as hotel, dinner, and a bourbon tasting.
Koutsakis added: “Our Kentucky Bourbon Retreat democratizes barrel ownership by allowing individuals to create their very own batch of barrels with a truly bespoke mashbill. Distilleries typically require a minimum order of more than 100 barrels for such a service, but given our distillery relationships, we’re able to bring that minimum number down to a more palatable 10 barrels.”
