Barrel Auction

[Gary Hinegardner]

Fellow Distiller,

There are times at a distillery when production and marketing do not come together.  Wood Hat Spirits has experienced such a time, so we are trying a different approach to solve the problem. 

We are selling 90 barrels at auction on April 30th.

These barrels are the same ones we bottle daily. When we distilled and barreled them, our expectation was that they would go through our regular distribution channels which we have been using for 11 years.  But we just made too much for the current market.

If you have wondered how a blue or red corn bourbon would fit into your line of products or as a blend with your product, now is your chance to buy a barrel and find out. The blue corn will smooth out most any other distilled product while the red adds flavor of a different dimension. 

Come by and sample.

This will be an online auction and it will go fast.  Getting set up in advance is necessary. Lots are of both 53-gal barrels and 15-gal barrels.  We are offering a wide range of aging so you can buy some old for immediate bottling as well as younger products to further age as you wish. 

Most of the barrels are from Chinkapin oak that makes a great tasting whiskey.

All 15-gal barrels are made from staves that are air dried at least 3 years with some being 6-year air dried.  The 53’s are 24-month air-dried.

Barrel treatments of the 53s are mostly heavy toast with a lighter char on top.  All bourbons in 15s are #3 char and all whiskeys are heavy toast.  The TTB says that toast is char so everything can qualify as bourbon.  All bourbons will qualify as Missouri Bourbons if they are bottled in Missouri.

All these products are our standard spirits so if you buy something at this auction, you can be assured we will have the same product in the future. 

Hope you can be part of this auction and score big time.

Let me know if I can help.

I have been to the Wood Hat facility and have sampled every variety that he has up for sale and I can attest they are all EXCELLENT. Easily the best corn whiskies I have ever tried and no wonder Wood Hat has won so many awards!
