Unbiased Barrel Selection Process
We seek out the top whiskey producers to select Single Barrels from. We pick every barrel blind - meaning we never want to know the age, proof, warehouse location, or tasting notes. This way we have an unbiased opinion going into the selection.
Extensive Variety of Offerings
Over the last decade we have picked over 300+ barrels from all over the world that have included Single Malt Scotch, Bourbon & Rye Whiskies, American Single Malts, Cognac, Armagnac, Rum, & even Gin!
Exclusive Releases
Every Single Barrel release is exclusive to our Gordon's customers. Though some barrels are in high demand or could have a low yield, in these situations we reach out to our top loyalty ticket holders for a first shot at these limited single barrels. Shop at Gordon's and Get Rewarded!
Year-Round Tasting Opportunities
All of our Single Barrel Selections are available to taste at any time at our Main St, Waltham and Arsenal Yards, Watertown locations. We do encourage reaching out to Ken Gordon or Dan Goldman to set up a time to walk through our private barrels.
Rich Stories Behind Every Barrel
Each barrel tells a story, filled with a rich history of the distilling making process. This could range from who the Master Distiller was at the time, why a certain warehouse and location is better than others, how the specific barrel itself was made and charred, or even where did the grain used to make the whiskey come from. All of this information we love to share and geek out on each time we release a single barrel
Convenient Accessibility
Every single barrel we release is available online or in-store. Due to demand or low yields some barrels may only be offered via email release.


Affordable Luxury
At Gordon's we want to make sure there is whiskey for everyone no matter what your budget may be. We have private barrels that start in the sub $50 all the way over $100.
Educational Experiences
The best way to get help and understanding of our selections is by attending our tasting or joining a Saturday tasting event. Hearing the stores and tales of our whiskey adventures from those who are behind the picks themselves delivers the passion we put behind each one.
Customer-Centric Selection Philosophy
No matter where you are in your whiskey journey, whiskey is meant to be enjoyed with friends and family. Over the last decade we have visited over 200+ distilleries, picked over 300+ single barrels, conducted 100's of whiskey seminars, and have tasted a lot of whiskey in that time. When it comes to selecting single barrels, the final decision comes down to one simple question - Will my customers enjoy this whiskey? Just because we may like a barrel doesn't mean our customer will, so making sure we can stand behind each selection has been key to our success.
