Twenty20 Beverages specializes in developing ultra-premium craft spirits brands like ours. Their team will help to bridge the gaps between the consumer, distributor, and supplier on our behalf. We look forward to working with them as we continue to broaden the brand’s distribution within the U.S.
BCS Founder Joe Beatrice
Founded in 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky, BCS selects and blends products that explore different distillation methods, barrels, and aging environments. BCS’s extensive stocks of high-quality casks mean it can craft extraordinary blends that maximize the nuances of each ingredient. Creative finishes and a liberated approach to blending guides every product release.
We look forward to our partnership with Barrell Craft Spirits in the United States. Our quality brand building approach will work very well with the BCS portfolio. We look forward to building a close working relationship with the BCS leadership team, furthering their legacy, and building upon the success that they have achieved.
