LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Barrell Craft Spirits (BCS), the award-winning independent blender and bottler of unique aged, cask-strength sourced whiskey, and rum, is proud to announce a collaboration among The Ocean Foundation and Barrell Seagrass, its newest special release.
Launched earlier this year, Barrell Seagrass is a blend of American and Canadian rye whiskeys, meticulously sourced and finished separately in Martinique Rhum Agricole casks, apricot brandy casks, and Madeira barrels. The expression highlights the grassy oceanside notes in rye and the opulence and spice of finishing barrels.
Barrell Craft Spirits created special hangtags that will be placed on select bottles of Barrell Seagrass beginning this month to celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month and Climate Week.
BCS will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these bottles to The Ocean Foundation in support of reversing the trend of destruction of ocean environments around the world, specifically contributing to the conservation and restoration of seagrass. Barrell Seagrass is now available at select retailers within the brand’s current 48 U.S. markets and online via the BCS website at https://shop.barrellbourbon.com/barrell-seagrass-in-partnership-with-the-ocean-foundation/.
“Given our love of the beach and ocean, we’re proud to participate in an effort to restore ocean environments alongside this very worthy not-for-profit organization,” said Barrell Craft Spirits Founder Joe Beatrice. “Originally, we were drawn to The Ocean Foundation because of their commitment to replanting Seagrass. It seemed like a natural partnership.”

Creative finishes, a liberated approach to blending, and a deep-seated commitment to releasing each whiskey at cask strength and without chill-filtration guides every product release.
