It’s single barrel pick time! Or perhaps single barrel select time. But wait, there’s also private barrel select… Yeah, it can get confusing with all the terms being spewed out. But let’s go over them, learn exactly what they mean, and give you some amazing Sip Whiskey barrel picks, or Sip Whiskey store picks, or… never mind. To put it simply, all the terms basically refer to the process of selecting a specific barrel of whiskey to be bottled. Of course, there are slight differences and we’ll go through them right about, now:

1. Single Barrel Select: This term emphasizes the selection of a single barrel for bottling, highlighting the uniqueness of each individual barrel.
2. Barrel Selection: A straightforward term indicating the process of selecting barrels for bottling based on specific criteria such as flavor profile, age, or quality.
3. Barrel Proof: Refers to whiskey that is bottled at the proof it was aged in the barrel, without dilution. Barrel proof selections offer the full intensity of flavors and aromas straight from the cask.
4. Private Barrel: Denotes barrels that have been selected exclusively for a particular retailer, bar, or group, often featuring custom labeling or branding.
5. Store Pick: Similar to private barrels, store picks are barrels selected by retailers for exclusive bottling and distribution in their stores.
6. Single Cask: Emphasizes that the whiskey in the bottle originates from a single barrel, underscoring the individuality and uniqueness of each cask.
7. Handpicked: Indicates that the barrels were personally chosen or "handpicked" by individuals involved in the selection process, often implying a high level of care and attention to detail.
8. Custom Barrel: Denotes barrels that have been selected and bottled according to specific preferences or requirements, such as flavor profile or age.

Ultimately, the goal is to provide you with a unique and memorable drinking experience. Let’s get to the offerings Sip Whiskey has for you!
