Barrel Global is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with Castle & Key Distillery of Frankfort, Kentucky. This collaboration offers whiskey enthusiasts the rare opportunity to own new-fill barrels crafted by a distillery known for its rich history, innovation, and dedication to quality.
Founded in 1887 by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., Castle & Key set the stage for Kentucky’s bourbon legacy. Its Scottish-inspired castle, Roman-style springhouse, and lush gardens helped introduce bourbon tourism, transforming whiskey production into an art form. After decades of dormancy, the distillery has been meticulously restored, reclaiming its place as a key player in the bourbon world. Today, it produces award-winning spirits, including its Small Batch Wheated Bourbon, which won Double Gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and its Small Batch Bourbon, rated 95 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
Through this partnership, Barrel Global offers collectors the chance to reserve new-fill barrels featuring one of Castle & Key’s signature mashbills. Each barrel embodies the distillery’s commitment to quality, using heirloom grains from Kentucky and traditional techniques enhanced by innovation.
Barrel Global streamlines the barrel ownership process, handling storage, monitoring, annual sampling, and eventual bottling.
