Barrel Investment Opportunity Coming Soon

1/6/2019

0 Comments

 
This year I am going to be investing in some of our craft distillers barrel programs.  So what does that mean… well laying down a chunk of change for a spirit that will sit in a barrel for at least two years and produce approximately 250 bottles (depending on when it is time to pull the barrel).  Interesting part about this is the following:
  1. Working with our craft distillers on the process
  2. Tasting the spirit along the way
  3. Getting to say when the spirit is ready to be bottled
  4. Yielding ~ 250 bottles of a spirit for 53-gallon barrel (barrel sizes/bottles yield will vary)
  5. In some cases keeping the barrel after it is emptied.
This is quite the experience and think it is a great opportunity for OWP and for the distillers.  I recently had a 10 L barrel sitting at Marble Distillery in Carbondale, CO.  This barrel was filled over a year ago with their Rye whiskey.  This past November I went to visit the barrel to see where it was at and was completely surprised with the flavor profile.  The rye hit in the middle of the mouthfeel and mellowed as it went down the back of the throat, which in my opinion is perfect.  Connie and her distilling team are bottling OWP’s whiskey at 100 proof so that it can be proofed down by others as needed.    My yield for this barrel size should be close to 10 bottles and this spirit will be shared at the next OWP whiskey party for tasting.

The opportunity
I would like for you to be a part of the experience and the investment.  This spring I will be looking into barrel programs across the country.  By the Summer of 2019, the investment will be made for up to 5 barrels to be made on behalf of OWP and friends (other investors).  Barrel sizes and bottle yields will vary on the size of the barrel.  Bottles will be split evenly among the investors, when the spirit is ready to be bottled.
Stay tuned to OWPs website for more information on this program.

    Views, thoughts, comments and experiences are all mine, which includes all of the grammar/spelling errors.  I do not claim to be an English major only needed an outlet to share my experiences.

    My son reminded me that human interaction is important and maybe sharing experiences with friends, family and complete strangers is the way to go. I will apologize now for anyone who takes offense to my banter, but sometime things just need to be said.
