ABV Barrel Shop — Attraction in Arnold Township

Visited this shop on their opening weekend. What a place! They only do single barrel selections from distillers, and for just opening up, they had quite a selection to choose from. The Tasting Bar was a nice touch as you can try everything before you buy a bottle. They also have a number of tables where they host Education Classes, which seems like a nice thing for the local area. The owners are part of the ABV Network and do podcasts as well. The bartenders were very attentive and know their whiskey. We also met the owners when we visited, and they were very proud of what they accomplished as the amount of work done was impressive...to Bourbon Enthusiasts, you will love the history and decor, not minimizing the whiskey selections. We purchased bottles from Neeley Family Distillery, Wood Hat Spirits Distillery, Still630 Distillery, and Stumpy's Spirits. They also had other offerings from Deerhammer Distillery and Old55 Distillery. Quite an impressive start for just opening. I highly recommend you visit while in the area or give them a call to find out what...

Every day is a unique experience at the ABV Barrel Shop. No two days are ever gonna be the same, whether that is new products on the tasting bar or sharing laughs with the owners and patrons in the shop. Jim and Steve are some great guys and they know what they are talking about when it comes to bourbon. The tastings and classes that they offer are a must for anyone who has any kind of interest in whiskey. You can’t go wrong with any of the products they have on offer.

You never know what you’re gonna get when you walk through the door of the ABV Barrel Shop, but it is a must visit for anyone in the St. Louis area.

P.S. they have a shop dog and his name is Barley, he would love for you to visit and give him...

A really great place to go and learn something about bourbon from two guys that love bourbon. This is a small shop with a lot to offer, from bourbon (obviously) that you can even taste some of what they sell, to apparel, glassware, chocolate and other great parings that serve well with single barrel picks.

These guys are picking about 100 barrels a year to bring to you in Arnold MO.! They have a kind of internal slogan of “We suffer for you!” Sampling that much bourbon must be a feat! I am a fan and have even attended a class on paring chocolate and bourbon, the room was full and comfortable and very entertaining.

Barley the dog even adds to the ambiance of the place. If you are ready to try some truly unique bourbons and you want to learn something along the way ABV is the...
