It is always so much fun to see you, Matt and the amazing BK family making absolute legendary batches and all of the behind the scenes activity there is on a day to day basis. Love Barrel King!!
I'm a hugely satisfied Barrel King Gold Member. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered, but I've felt that one thing BK whiskey was missing was age/oak. Looks like that will no longer be the case. I know that you hang your hat on blending and finishing, but I wonder if you've considered buying some new toasted/charred barrels from, say, Kelvin Cooperage and eventually releasing a toasted or (my preference) a double oaked bourbon or rye? I know it would be a time/money investment, but the end product, in your hands, would undoubtedly be all kinds of amazing. Maybe you have already? I've only been a member since March. Cheers!
I was shocked that you were able to use the 11yr so quickly for blending. It super exciting and a welcome surprise. Based on how this turned out on a short time frame, do you think that it’s just going to be on banger after another this year (even though I know all BK is amazing it appears it is making it easier, right)?
