What we do
From barrel selection to Korea
01
Barrel picks & samples
Our barrel pick team tastes and shortlists candidate barrels at the distillery, then ships the samples to Korea. You taste them and make the final call.
02
Custom labels
Put your own label on the barrel you choose: a club logo, a group name, a commemorative message. We handle the design brief and coordination with the distillery.
03
Price negotiation
We negotiate barrel pricing, bottling specs, and terms based on market knowledge and our distillery relationships.
04
Export or direct shipping
Choose between export for official import through a Korean importer, or direct-to-consumer shipping from the US through the BARREL KOREA shipping network.
