Pennyroyal Barrel Company: A New Era in Bourbon Making
What comes to mind when you hear “Pennyroyal Barrel Company”? Perhaps images of woodworking artisans
painstakingly crafting fine barrels for aging your favorite whiskey? While you’re not too far off,
Pennyroyal brings so much more to the table.
The Pennyroyal Barrel Company, based in Kentucky (the official birthplace of bourbon whiskey), is
revolutionizing the art of whiskey making. They’re breaking the mold (or should we say, “barrel”,)
with their latest venture: a Bourbon Incubator. Let’s lift the lid and fill our glasses to the brim
with knowledge on this booming bourbon business.
What’s Cooking in the ‘Bourbon Incubator’?
Whiskey distilleries use the term ‘incubator’ in the same way a tech startup might. Pennyroyal’s Bourbon Incubator presents an experimental playground where old traditions are tested, new techniques are explored, and -most importantly- unique spirits are born.
But how does it work?
Pennyroyal Barrel Company’s Bourbon Incubator takes in small-scale distillers who can’t afford to
operate a full-scale barrel production and aging process. Here, they have the opportunity to age their
bourbon in Pennyroyal’s state-of-the-art, perfectly controlled environment. This fosters bourbon
with consistent quality, unique flavor profiles and a refined finish unmatched by homegrown
operations.
Why it matters for Bourbon Lovers?
For whiskey aficionados, this is exciting news. The Bourbon Incubator promises a broad and eclectic
range of flavorful bourbons, which can only be a good thing for our palates. Secondly, and
importantly, it supports and nourishes small-scale distilleries, keeping the market diverse and
exciting.
The Magic Behind Pennyroyal Barrel Company

The barrels are just as critical as the bourbon. Thankfully, Pennyroyal Barrel Company are masters of
the craft. Combining traditional methods with innovative technology, they create vessels that impart
the bourbon inside with just the right levels of natural sugars, flavors, and color. The result? A
whiskey that is full, rich, and pleasing to the senses.
What’s on the Horizon?
As the bourbon industry continues to boom, so too does the need for the services provided by the
Pennyroyal Barrel Company’s Bourbon Incubator. There’s no telling what new taste sensations might be
produced in this innovative space. So, for whiskey lovers worldwide, there’s never been a more
exciting time to explore the ever-expanding universe of bourbon.
