Our Private Barrel Program is a culmination of our efforts and expertise in barrel-aging, blending, and cellaring. For the 2024 evolution of the program, we are proud to once again present double barrel-aged Black Tuesday, finished exclusively in 10 gallon rye and wheated whiskey barrels sourced from Reservoir Distillery.
We are so excited to welcome you into our community of barrel-aging aficionados and celebrate this year's Private Barrel Program with us. This small-batch program is truly an exciting project for an intimate group of our biggest fans, and we hope to count you among them.
This unique blend of Black Tuesday started its life in a host of different barrels in our cellar. Brewed over two years ago, our team has identified the choicest of Black Tuesday in a host of premium barrels to include: Eagle Rare Bourbon, Four Gate Bourbon and Four Gate Split Stave Bourbon, Buffalo Trace Rye and Buffalo Trace Boubon, Four Roses Bourbon, Blanton's Bourbon and finally a single Madeira wine cask. We blended these barrels together for optimal flavor balance and complexity, then transferred this ultra premium blend into both 10 gallon Rye whiskey and Wheated whiskey barrels from Reservoir Distillery for next level aging.
To say this is a unique blend is an understatement, albeit a true one— aged once in specialty barrels then laid to rest in small format barrels for its final nuance, this is certainly a one-of-a-kind release.
"It’s truly a great beer! That’s the truth. It does differ from the regular Black Tuesday offering and I believe it’s better. We were also thrilled to see each bottle individually numbered."
—Lloyd & Carrilee Fox, Hoarders Society Members
It's more than just a barrel and bottles; with your support of the Private Barrel Program, you're getting an exclusive bespoke experience unlike any other. With the extremely limited number of barrels available, you will be one of very few to appreciate and enjoy this premium product and the unique experience that comes with it.
Take this one of a kind beer and truly make it your own with a custom label. Commemorate a special event, congratulate a special someone or offer something unique to that premium client. Or, just make it yours.
"Being able to create your own label and the overall experience was one we still talk about to this day. In a world of mass produced beer, this felt even more special and unique. When you want the best, where else do you go from here? You are getting an incredible beer of Black Tuesday, and then taking it to the next level."
—Jeanette Morrison, Hoarders Society Member
Meet Brian Schmidt, longtime Society Member and fan of The Bruery. His purchase of the 2021 Single Barrel project meant so much more than good beer and a nice barrel— it meant sharing beers with family and creating irreplaceable memories.
Working in the spirits industry, Brian is keenly aware of what it takes to make an impression— so his own personal barrel, proudly displayed in his home office alongside bottles of Black Tuesday and countless other spirits, is the perfect talking point for his clients and friends.
