KENTUCKY DISTILLERS’ ASSOCIATION WELCOMES BARRELS & BILLETS AS NEWEST MEMBER

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky Distillers’ Association (KDA) today announced Barrels & Billets in Jefferson County as the newest and 54th distilling member of the non-profit trade group that unites and leads Kentucky’s signature Bourbon and distilled spirits industry.  

Owned by Hillerich & Bradsby Co. (H&B), Barrels and Billets is open to the public and offers guests a hands-on, interactive Bourbon experience. Visitors can blend their own Bourbon recipe using six different wood-finished Bourbons to create their own custom flavor profile. 

The distillery is one of three venues at the H&B campus located at 800 W Main St. in downtown Louisville. The site includes Barrels & Billets, the award-winning Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory and The Skybox, a 5,000 square foot event space. 

Patrick Shortridge, Director of Guest Experience at Hillerich & Bradsby Co. said joining the KDA is a big milestone for the new distillery. 

“The entire Barrels & Billets team is ecstatic to join KDA and play a role in such an incredible Kentucky industry,” Shortridge said. “We look forward to building onto Barrels & Billets’ fun and unique experience.” 

Barrels & Billets focuses on wood finishing techniques for its own line of Bourbons, which include Lucky Lumber Easy Drinking Bourbon, Lead Off Rich & Complex Bourbon and Smokin’ Fastball Smoked Bourbon. 

The company’s luxury Bourbon brand, J. Frederick Three Wood Bourbon, was crafted in honor of J. Frederick Hillerich who immigrated to America from Germany in 1842. Hillerich opened a wood shop in Louisville and early on sold barrels for aging Bourbon.

Barrels & Billets joins the KDA as a “Craft” level member, aging between 0 and 10,000 barrels per year.  

KDA President Eric Gregory said Barrels & Billets is a fine addition to downtown Louisville’s Museum Row district. “We look forward to working with the Barrels & Billets team as we continue our tireless work to unite our historic industry and secure Kentucky as the one true home for Bourbon,” Gregory said. “We congratulate them on their success and gladly welcome them to the KDA.”

BRUICHLADDICH 18 YEAR OLD
FIRST-FILL SAUTERNES CASK

Bruichladdich is one of Islay’s best known distilleries, with a host of classic releases across not only its eponymous, unpeated range but also under its smoky Port Charlotte and Octomore labels. We’re excited to offer an 18-year-old Bruichladdich single malt matured in a single first-fill Sauternes cask and bottled exclusively for The Whisky Exchange.

Bruichladdich’s creamy spirit marries very well with wine casks, and the rich and sweet character of Sauternes is a perfect pairing. A long 18 years of maturation in a first-fill cask has given lots of rich and fruity cask character, without hiding the underlying distillery character. Expect notes of vanilla cream, stewed apple, cinnamon and slightly singed toffee on the palate.

Glen Elgin 2010 

We are excited to have partnered with Berry Bros. & Rudd on our  Aberdeen Whisky Shop Exclusive. Amongst the numerous distilleries in Speyside, Glen Elgin distillery quietly ambles along within the pines and flitting house martins, confidently producing a rich, fruity spirit. This particular cask began life in an ex-bourbon barrel before ending its journey in a fresh oloroso butt for three years. Bright red fruit and gingerbread spices let you know it has spent some time in sherry. Fresh white peaches, dried apricots and lashings of honey and cream on the finish remind us of its quiet but generous home.

Only 120 bottles were produced.

Dailuaine 25 Years Old Mission Gold

This unique malt was bottled exclusively for our shop. Distilled in 1997 at Dailuaine Distillery, known for its oily, orchard fruit-filled spirit and aged in a bourbon hogshead for two decades before finishing in a compact bourbon cask from Koval Distillery.  This is an unprecedented example of Koval cask maturation. Never before has an older single malt rested for so long in those small casks. Nearly six years in the bourbon cask created a wonderful balance between elegant old spirit and vibrant American oak.  Bottled by Murray McDavid at natural cask strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring.

Only 137 bottles were produced.

Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection

Tamdhu 50yo 1972 Vintage

Tamdhu 50 Year Old, 1972 Private Collection. A very rare vintage bottling by Gordon & MacPhail from a single refill American hogshead #3430 at 47.7%. Distilled 21st July 1972 and bottled 10th November 2022 with just 143 hand-blown crystal decanters.

Shop – Tamdhu 50yo – £5,525 | u$5,600 | €5,098

Tamdhu 50 Year Old 1972 vintage Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. Single refill American hogshead #3430. Distilled 21st July 1972 & bottled 10th November 2022 by Gordon & MacPhail for the Private Collection series. Just 143 hand-blown crystal decanters have been produced.

Nose: Sweet toffee apple aromas combine with orange peel and crystalised violets. Fragrant pear gives way to undertines of aged leather and cocoa powder.

Taste: Tart raspberry flavours lead to bright citrus zest and black pepper. Dried exotic fruit comes to the fore alongside toasted almonds.

Finish: Full and spicy finish with lingering sweet fruit and oak.

Tamdhu Distillery was founded in Speyside in 1896 and in production the following year. Designed by Charles Doig this distillery was originally equipped with two stills that were increased to four in 1972 and then six in 1975 in order to cope with the ever increasing demand for Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark blends of scotch to which Tamdhu was a major contributor. When the nearby railway station closed in 1965 the ticket office was subsequently converted into the Tamdhu Distillery visitor. But the visitor centre closed and then the distillery itself in March 2010 and with it the last working Saladin malting boxes in Scotland. A year later and Ian Macleod Distillers purchased Tamdhu Distillery and re-opened it in 2012. Single malts include Tamdhu 10 Year Old and Batch Strength.

Nikka was brought to life by the great Masataka Taketsuru in Hokkaido in 1934, and the company has been growing ever since. Masataka established Nikka because he was determined to introduce his fellow Japanese to the joys of authentic whisky.
