Business Spotlight: Burlock & Barrel Distillery

May 27, 2020

 | 

I had the absolute pleasure of finding out, through a friend, about the new distillery in Downtown Jacksonville called “Burlock & Barrel”. Opening their doors in December 2019 and located in the Brooklyn area of downtown Jacksonville (417 Magnolia Street Jacksonville, FL 32204) owners Ian Haensly & Colin Edwards have been distilling three unique & all hand-crafted spirits.

 

The history of their name runs deep with Jacksonville bootlegging, but let’s just say they are “the real McCoy”! Their three trademark spirits are B&B Reserve, Whisper “2019 Double Gold Medal Winner ~ John Barleycorn Awards” & Whim Brand. The Whim Brand has two handcrafter flavors, Honey & Jalapeño Honey, both infused with natural local honey.  All different in their own respect, Burlock & Barrel delivers a spirit for everyone entirely in house.

 

        

 

Since opening in December and the COIVD-19 Pandemic happening shortly after, Ian & Colin had to adjust their business plan and started to produce hand sanitizer in their distillery as well. Using the FDA provided guidelines, Ian & Colin have been providing local businesses & residents with hand sanitizer while there is a shortage in other stores.
