Barrell Craft Bourbon Batch 031
Regular price $160.00
Barrell Bourbon Batch 031 is a blend of 6, 7, 10, 15 and 16-year-old barrels. The blend was built around the sweetness in a group of 99% corn bourbon barrels and a group of wheated bourbon barrels. To bridge these two groupings, the blender layered in 15 and 16-year-old barrels for their gentle nuttiness and oak. Finally, a selection of 10-year-old barrels was added to bring notes of milk chocolate and tropical fruit. This expression was distilled and aged in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana and bottled in Kentucky.
Nose: A rush of dry, notable oak, incorporating wormwood, tobacco, and pine needles.
Palate: The fruit sings loudest here -- pomegranate juice and strawberry rhubarb pie.
Finish: A quick burst of heat announces smoked paprika, black peppercorn, and spearmint. As it subsides, Demerara rum and black cherry soda emerge.
