Barrell Batch 35 Bourbon

Barrell Bourbon Batch #35 showcases an exquisite blend of 6, 7, 8, and 13-year-old bourbon whiskeys distinctively matured in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana. Each aged American white oak barrel imparts an individual character, ranging from high-rye high-proof spiciness to softer, low-proof profiles with concentrated dark cherry and butterscotch notes. The resulting blend, after two months of mingling and a final infusion of 13-year-old barrels bearing dominant fruit flavors, presents itself as a dazzling brew, intensely peppery on the nose and lingeringly sweet on the finish. Bottled at 116.24 proof cask strength in Kentucky, its compelling flavors marry banana bread nose with an earthy palate of bold spice, evolving into rich chocolate milkshake and frosted cinnamon bun notes. A splash of spring water transforms the bourbon into a tropical fruit punch bowl, underscoring why Barrell Craft Spirits, a Louisville-based independent blender, stands out for its innovative blending expertise.
