Own the Barrel. Write the Story.
At DAAD Distilling Company, every barrel tells a story. When you choose a DAAD Barrel Pick, you’re not just buying bourbon-whiskey, you’re investing in Appalachian heritage, masterful craftsmanship, black ownership, and the bold dreams that built our brand.
Whether you’re a business owner or someone looking to mark a milestone in unforgettable fashion, our Barrel Pick Program puts you at the heart of the craft. Picks start at $5,000 for 1-year olds. $20,000 for 4-year-olds.
Why Choose DAAD for Your Barrel Pick?
Authenticity You Can Taste- Every barrel is a single barrel, barrel strength, and Kentucky born. No blending, no shortcuts. Each selection reflects the unique character of its aging journey, making your barrel truly one-of-a-kind.
Founders At Your Side- Your selection isn’t just guided by a staff member, it’s led by Aaron Floyd and Antonio Santago, the visionaries behind DAAD Distilling Company. You’ll hear the real stories behind the whiskey and the mission; not just tasting notes.
A Brand with Purpose- DAAD is proudly Black-owned and rooted in Appalachian heritage, reclaiming space in an industry that has historically excluded voices like ours. Your purchase fuels local economic growth, community upliftment, and cultural rebuilding in Eastern Kentucky.
Unmatched Value- This is your vision; we take care of the rest! All dry goods, and shipping included — a turnkey solution for launching your own bourbon-whiskey line.
Exclusivity & Scarcity- Once a barrel is gone, it’s gone forever — no two barrels are the same. Your selection becomes a liquid time capsule, impossible to replicate.
Seamless Process- We handle the compliance, bottling, labeling, and logistics — As long as your end is tied up, you focus on the experience and the story you want to tell. Shipping to your facility is included for packages.
Storytelling Power- Whether you’re a retailer, bar owner, or private collector, your barrel becomes a conversation piece that connects customers to your brand and to DAAD’s mission. Every bottle carries a narrative of craftmanship, heritage, and purpose.
