The big problem is taxes. The government wants to make sure that the three tier system stays in place because there is a different tax at every tier. Selling from the barrel cuts out two different tiers.

ima thinks straight from the barrel sales would really benefit a distillery's image as a proactive pro-enthusiast move.

No doubt! Think of all the pilgrimage trips that would be taken just to get those unique distillery-only bottles!
One problem: aren't some of the distilleries in dry counties? (Wikipedia says Woodford Reserve is).
Gary, Woodford Reserve sells their bourbon in their giftshop, but I don't really know if Woodford County is dry or not.
