Barrell Craft Spirits (BCS) announced the sale of its blending facility in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, to American Craft Bottling. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

“We regularly refine our commercial strategy to stay ahead of evolving industry trends to support long-term growth,” BCS Founder Joe Beatrice said in a news release. “While the economic environment has presented challenges across the spirits industry, it has sharpened our focus and reinforced the importance of proactive decision-making.”

BCS will consolidate all blending operations at its original Gilmore facility, which offers enough capacity to support current and future needs. The company will also invest in new equipment and technology to expand its operations without disrupting ongoing work.

“We’re grateful to our loyal fans and whiskey enthusiasts who have continued to support us with each release,” Beatrice said. “We plan to continue bringing you the most innovative, creative, and complex products our industry has to offer in 2026 and beyond.” 

Founded in 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky, BCS selects and blends products that explore different distillation methods, barrels, and aging environments. BCS’s extensive stocks of high-quality casks mean it can craft extraordinary blends that maximize the nuances of each ingredient. Creative finishes and a liberated approach to blending guides every product release.

The award-winning line of BCS releases are sold in 49 US states, Puerto Rico, the UK, South Korea, the Ukraine, and Australia.
