Coal Pick Distillery bourbon barrels aging in a Kentucky rickhouse

Invest In Bourbon

Welcome to Your Exclusive Bourbon Investment Opportunity

At Coal Pick Distillery, we believe that bourbon isn't just a drink — it's an asset. With years of proven profitability, growing market demand, and a heritage brand behind it, investing in bourbon has never been more attractive.

The Opportunity

Investment Highlights

New Fill Program

Your investment begins with the purchase of new-fill barrels — freshly distilled bourbon placed into Cooper Select barrels and stored in our on-site rickhouses. This marks the start of the aging process, where the spirit matures in both value and character over time.

Competitive Price

Each barrel is $1,295.00 and that price includes the first four years of storage and insurance.

4 Year Hold

Let your barrels mature for optimal value. If an investor chooses to retain their barrels beyond the initial four-year term, the barrels will remain stored in a bonded warehouse, and an annual fee will be charged to cover ongoing storage, insurance, and administrative costs.

Exit Strategy

Emerging brands seeking to launch quickly, third-party suppliers to major labels, national and regional wholesalers, specialty liquor stores, and export partners are all active buyers of aged bourbon barrels. These routes offer multiple off-ramps for high-volume investors.
