With years of experience working behind the scenes alongside some of the top bourbon companies in the industry, Monica Wolf has mastered both the art and science of the trade.
Monica’s extensive consulting experience in the spirits industry led her to collaborate with a family-owned contruction company, who had developed an innovative rickhouse system with its in-house engineering team.
Recognizing the industry’s shortage of barrel storage solutions, Monica saw an opportunity for change.
This vision became a reality through a joint venture with The Koetter Group, a company that shares the same values of integrity, respect, and partnership – laying the foundation for long-term success.
