Meet the Founder
New England Barrel Company was founded in 2020 by James Saunders as an independent bottler focused on American whiskey, especially bourbon and rye. Before launching the brand, Saunders spent 20 years in enterprise IT sales and leadership, where clients helped introduce him to American whiskey. His stated mission was to bring more sanity and accessibility back to the whiskey market by offering quality batched and single-barrel releases at reasonable prices. NEBCo has also been identified by Pronghorn and spirits trade coverage as a Black-owned spirits producer, making it a meaningful choice for shoppers seeking Black-owned bourbon and craft spirits with a community-minded founder story
