“Visitors to our restaurants have enjoyed our beer barrel finished bourbons with very limited opportunity to purchase the product in their home states. To meet this increased interest, we are excited to partner with distributors and move into new states.” Ted Mitzlaff, CEO and Owner

Goodwood spirits are Kentucky based aged in their used beer barrels. Currently, their series includes two bourbon expressions and one rye, with one additional bourbon scheduled to be released soon. Through a partnership with Green River Distilling in Owensboro, Kentucky, Goodwood has been able to perfect their process of producing, finishing and packaging bourbon to meet increasing demands. All products have an emphasis placed on quality and craftsmanship, with months of preparation and experimentation going into each spirit. Bourbons are aged in charred white oak American barrels for four to eight years, before being finished in beer barrels, for a special flavor that can only develop by aging for this long. The beer-barrel aging lends malt sweetness and a cocoa character to the robust whiskey tones of vanilla and sweet caramel.
