Barrell Craft Spirits® (BCS), the original independent blender of unique aged, cask strength whiskey since 2013, has announced the sale of its blending facility in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, to American Craft Bottling. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
“We regularly refine our commercial strategy to stay ahead of evolving industry trends to support long-term growth,” said BCS Founder Joe Beatrice. “While the economic environment has presented challenges across the spirits industry, it has sharpened our focus and reinforced the importance of proactive decision-making.
BCS will consolidate all blending operations at its original Gilmore facility, which offers enough capacity to support current and future needs. The company will also invest in new equipment and technology to expand its operations without disrupting ongoing work.
“We’re grateful to our loyal fans and whiskey enthusiasts who have continued to support us with each release,” said Beatrice. “We plan to continue bringing you the most innovative, creative, and complex products our industry has to offer in 2026 and beyond.”
