WE BUY whiskey & bourbon BARRELS!
May 10th, 2024
Here at Midwest Barrel Co., we talk a lot about the barrels we sell, from their stories and specifications to their flavor profiles. What can we say? We’re passionate about barrels!
But today, our focus is on the lifeblood of the barrel industry—our suppliers. These distillery partners are the original stewards of the story. They craft the whiskies we drink and care for the barrels that will make future spirits and decor.
Bo Garrett, Senior Brand Builder at Wild Turkey
"For several years, I had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Kyle at Wild Turkey. He was a huge help to me in getting information about both barrel location and the impacts on the liquid.
We both share a love of Russell’s Reserve bourbon. So, it makes perfect sense that they are now buying all of our Russell’s Reserve barrels. Because, no one is a bigger proponent in spreading the word about Russell’s, whether it’s Russell’s Reserve Picks, or selling Russell’s barrels. That makes for a great relationship!"
Extending the Life of Every Barrel: Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Midwest Barrel Co., we understand that every barrel not only has a history but also a future. From their origins in bourbon and whiskey distilleries to their impactful roles in craft breweries and even aging spirits overseas, each barrel embarks on a journey that can span decades. This commitment to sustainability is at the heart of our tree planting effort with our #SaveTheStave® project. As we sell barrels, we plant trees (currently 40,000 & counting!) to continue the lifecycle of our barrel industry for generations to come.
