Buying from Barrel Tap was top shelf all the way around….from purchasing two Smoke Wagons(small batch & uncut/unfiltered) and having the pleasure of speaking with owner who took the time to note my bourbon interests and then make several recommendations. That was a first and greatly appreciated that I was viewed as more than just another customer! Fast ship as well! I will be back!!

Outside of Kentucky
I find Smoke Wagon blends to be a nice taste outside of Bourbon Town. I have very good luck also with pricing on other types of Bourbon.

This was my first order from The Barrel Tap…I was pleased with the customer service and received my order with no problems. I haven’t had the chance to taste my bourbons yet.

Great service
Haven’t opened the bottle yet, but will & I’m sure it will be great. Barrel Tap is in its self, “top shelf” in every way. Where I go to find bourbon to give. This one’s for me, though, & will get into it this week.
