Barrell Craft Spirits Sells Off Its New Bottling Plant
Corrected February 5, 2026
Just two and a half years ago, popular negociant Barrell Craft Spirits (BCS) proudly opened their new $15 million blending and bottling plant in Jeffersontown, the separate and distinct suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. At the end of last week, on January 30, the company announced they had sold that facility to American Craft Bottling.
“We regularly refine our commercial strategy to stay ahead of evolving industry trends to support long-term growth,” said BCS Founder Joe Beatrice. “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 indicated they will revert all blending and bottling operations to their original plant at Gilmore. The terms of sale are currently undisclosed.
Correction: This article originally confused American Bottling Company of Lexington, Kentucky with American Craft Bottling, about which little is known.
