Koopers Whiskey blending house is making its Barrel Reserve Bourbon available for online purchase for the first time, with direct shipping to eligible states.

LEDBETTER, Texas, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - After two years as one of the top-selling bottles available only to visitors of its Ledbetter tasting room, Koopers Whiskey blending house is making its Barrel Reserve Bourbon available for online purchase for the first time, with direct shipping to eligible states. The release follows sustained demand from customers who previously had to travel to the tasting room to buy the bourbon. Koopers Barrel Reserve Bourbon remains a core offering and will continue to be released in batches.

This wheated barrel-proof bourbon is made from a blend of two carefully selected Kentucky straight bourbons sourced from Green River Distillery, which were matured, blended, and bottled in Texas. Barrel Reserve Bourbon is bottled uncut at barrel proof to showcase its full character and complexity. The result is a whiskey that is both powerful and refined, delivering remarkable depth while maintaining exceptional finesse.

"Barrel Reserve is about balance and creating the most sophisticated pour in our lineup," says Troy Kooper, Master Blender at Koopers Whiskey. "We begin with a 6-year-old wheated bourbon and blend it with a 4-year-old rye-forward bourbon to bring added spice, structure, and layered complexity. After blending, we let the whiskey rest for several days before bottling it at barrel proof, allowing the flavors to marry naturally. The result is a bourbon that's bold yet refined—smooth, nuanced, and beautifully balanced, never harsh or rushed."

Barrel Reserve Bourbon opens with aromas of toasted caramel, maple syrup, dark cherry, and citrus before revealing a rich palate of baked apples, cinnamon, caramel, licorice, and maple sweetness. The finish lingers with notes of crème brûlée, oak honey, cinnamon, and bright citrus. The expression is bottled at barrel proof without dilution, allowing drinkers to experience the whiskey exactly as intended.

Barrel-proof bourbons continue to rank among the fastest-selling premium whiskey styles as enthusiasts seek unfiltered expressions that showcase the whiskey exactly as it leaves the barrel.
