21+ only. Please drink responsibly.

Private-barrel bourbon and an open gift case in an oak barrel room.

Your company's own bourbon barrel, bottled under your label.

A private barrel bourbon program is about one barrel (roughly 200 bottles), each one 750ml. The quote confirms the details. Licensed partners produce and bottle the bourbon. Handled runs the project.

Your brand. Your bottle. We handle the rest.

Your company's own bourbon barrel

This is the program for a company that wants its own bourbon barrel for gifts to clients and employees. You choose the profile. The spirit is already aged when it is bottled, so barrel aging is not part of your lead time.

Companies use it when they want to buy a barrel of bourbon for a gift program. It is a company project, run by Handled, with licensed partners producing and bottling. Gift whiskey beyond this program is on custom whiskey and bourbon.

About one barrel

About one barrel (roughly 200 bottles). The quote confirms the bottle count, the profile, and how it ships. A rye program is the same shape: about one barrel (roughly 200 bottles), and the quote confirms the details.

Vodka, gin, tequila, and rum are not barrel programs. Program size for those spirits is confirmed on the quote. See private label liquor.

Who it is for

  • A client list, an employee list, or both, near the size of one barrel
  • A smaller list, with bottles held for the office and for events
  • A founder marking a year the company wants on the label
  • Teams that want one barrel shared across the people they name

You choose the profile on the quote. That choice is your barrel pick for the program. If you need a different count, the quote confirms it. Every recipient must be 21 or older.

Label design

Your company name and logo go on the front label, with a short program line if you want one. You approve the proof before it is filed for federal label approval (a TTB COLA).

See Design Your Own Liquor Label and What Goes on a Liquor Label.

750ml bottles

Every bottle in the program is 750ml, the full-size bottle people keep and display.

Lead time

Plan on 10-12 weeks. There is no firm order-by date. Tell us the date you want bottles in hand. The quote confirms whether that date works.

The stages are in how custom liquor gets made. Corporate gifting is paid upfront once you approve the quote.

Ship direct to recipients or in bulk

  • In bulk. One delivery to your company. Your team hands the bottles out.
  • Direct to each recipient. Each person gets a bottle at their own address. See direct to each recipient.

Licensed retailer partners ship to most but not all states. Eligibility is confirmed at checkout. An adult 21 or older must be present to receive a delivery. A licensed retailer partner is the merchant of record.
