"Today, thanks to a boom that shifted into high gear around the turn of the century, bourbon is arguably the most talked-about, most obsessed-over and most in-demand spirit in the world."
-Food and Wine
Barrel Stock Trading Co. has created a new model for investing in the bourbon and whiskey wholesale market.
Following successful careers founding and leading their respective software companies, Dan Hogan and Clint Smith set out on a new quest - to help their friends and colleagues invest in one of the world’s most coveted products - Kentucky bourbon. What began as a conversation among longtime friends in the spring of 2020 has since become a thriving investor community well-positioned to take advantage of the growing bourbon market.
In the fall of 2024, Joe Goode joined Barrel Stock as president, following an extremely successful banking career spanning more than seventeen years and focusing almost exclusively on the spirits sector. Joe’s addition to the BSTC team further establishes Barrel Stock as a leader in the wholesale bourbon trade and an increasingly valuable partner for investors, producers and brands.
A focus on wholesale.
Barrel Stock Trading is not a retail brand. Instead, we’re a wholesale bourbon trading firm that secures, ages and eventually sells the bourbon that will one day make it onto the shelf of your favorite store.
Buying only the best.
While the execution is more complex, the plan is quite simple: buy barrels of quality bourbon from top-tier distilleries, hold those barrels as they increase in age and value, and eventually sell them to other investment partners or brands. Our hand-picked distillers are the most respected producers making some of the best bourbon around.
A Bluegrass State of mind.
While bourbon can be made most anywhere, we’re focused on the place with the richest history and the most revered product on the planet - Kentucky. That geographic and market focus is just part of what makes Barrel Stock Trading a truly unique opportunity for those seeking a compelling - not to mention fun - alternative investment.
Flexible opportunities.
Given its now four-plus-year history, Barrel Stock is uniquely positioned to offer a variety of ways to partner with us. Our flexible options can be tailored to any individual, family office or institution’s needs and include a range of barrel ages, mash bills and sources - while catering to a wide range of investment budgets.
