ROCKCASTLE BOURBON
RockCastle Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
RockCastle Bourbon, named for the county that is home to our limestone rich mountain spring water, is a smooth, sweet bourbon handcrafted using local Kentucky corn and wheat. This small batch spirit is bottled at barrel strength and displays distinct flavor notes of toffee, caramel and vanilla. Best served neat or in a chilled glass, this spirit is a must have for any bourbon aficionado.
BARREL HOUSE SELECT
Barrel House Select
Barrel House Select Bourbon is distilled from corn, rye and malted barley using a heavy rye mash bill and is barreled at 120 proof in #4 char barrels. We hand select three barrels per batch to blend according to their unique flavor profiles and then cut the entire batch to 90 proof using Appalachian Mountain Spring Water. Barrel House Select is available year round.
PURE BLUE VODKA
Pure Blue Vodka
Pure Blue Vodka is a small batch hand crafted spirit distilled from 100% corn and cut with limestone rich Kentucky mountain spring water for a clean crisp taste and subtle sweet finish.
DEVIL JOHN MOONSHINE
Devil John Moonshine
In 1877 The Saturday Evening Post declared, "Kentucky is the home of the Moonshiner". BarrelHouse has revived this long tradition with the introduction of "Devil John Moonshine" in honor of Kentucky legend Devil John Wright. Devil John was a lawman and moonshiner from Eastern Kentucky in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Barrel House Distilling Company is proud to make our moonshine in his honor. It is a clean, smooth sipping shine that is also very mixable.
DEVIL JOHN DARK 'SHINE
Devil John Dark 'Shine
Made from the same recipe of corn and cane sugar, Devil John Darkshine adds a little extra twist upon the traditional mountain moonshine. Aged for ten months in small, once used charred oak bourbon barrels, this spirit also adds hints of caramel and vanilla that make for a smooth, refreshing finish. Darkshine may be sipped neat or on the rocks or in traditional Old Fashioned cocktails.
OAK RUM
Oak Rum
Award Winning Kentucky Oak Rum is aged for four years in once used bourbon barrels before being bottled at barrel strength. This fine rum is best served neat, on the rocks, or as a substitute for a fine bourbon in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
BARREL HOUSE RUM
Barrel House Rum
Made with the same recipe as our award winning Oak Rum, this unaged spirit is best in cocktails that call for a fine white rum but is also smooth enough to drink neat or with a couple rocks!
