Our Beginning

In a time of uncertainty and isolation, the world found itself navigating the unprecedented challenges brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic. Neighborhood trash cans overflowed, bearing witness to a collective experience—empty bottles of bourbon, gin, vodka, tequila, and wine lay discarded as symbols of our newfound solitude and boredom.

Trapped within the confines of our homes, we craved connection, the joy of socialization, and perhaps a refreshing sip of something that could transport us beyond our four walls. It was September 2020 when the idea struck—a virtual social adventure that would prioritize the pleasures of sipping together, even if separated by distance.

Thus, the Barrel Proof Duo concept was born. With a vision to bring individuals closer through shared experiences, we began to curate unique tasting events aimed not just at enjoying spirits, but at diving deep into the stories and craftsmanship behind each bottle. Our journey began modestly. We partnered with a select few private companies eager to enhance their client relationships by offering memorable experiences in the form of exclusive tastings. We also held events tailored for our friends and family, providing a much-needed source of joy and connection during a time when social gatherings felt like a distant memory.

Yet, as word spread about our innovative approach to tasting spirits, we realized it was time to broaden our horizons and share this experience with everyone. At Barrel Proof Duo, we believe that sipping is just the beginning. Our excursions into the world of spirits invite participants to sample, explore, and uncover the diverse landscapes of flavor and tradition that each beverage represents. We don’t merely sip; we engage our senses, delving into the nuances of aromas and tones, the history behind each distillery, and the intricacies woven into every bottle.

Join us on this journey where we lift the veil on the world of spirits. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning to dip your toes into the vast ocean of beverages, our virtual tastings are designed to ignite curiosity and foster camaraderie. Experience the excitement of tasting with fellow explorers—sharing notes, laughs, and perhaps even a few secrets—as we navigate through the impressive range of spirits available.

Rekindling the art of social sipping in a digital age, we create a space where every toast is a celebration of craftsmanship and community. So gather your friends, your favorite glass, and your adventurous spirit, and prepare to uncover a world filled with flavor, stories, and unforgettable memories. With Barrel Proof Duo, the joys of socialization and discovery are only a sip away.
