Barrelsmith cocktails, a Connecticut-founded brand, was named best ready-to-drink (RTD) or canned cocktail in the world in a two-way tie. Barrelsmith’s barrel-aged Manhattan was ranked best by judges at the 2024 TAG Global Spirits Awards and reported on by Forbes. Barrelsmith’s barrel-aged bottled cocktail was selected for Best in Show by the TAG Global Spirits Awards, one of the only two entrants to be given scores of 95 by the judges, three points higher than the next highest-scoring RTD. Since 2010, Founders Matt Ellenthal and Martha Outlaw have worked at perfecting barrel-aged craft cocktails, experimenting, sourcing and developing their own ingredients and methods. The Barrelsmith line includes bottled Manhattan, Boulevardier, and Negroni and is distributed in Connecticut via Slocum & Sons.
