We are, as always, excited and delighted to share these exceptional single barrel releases from Barrel Craft Spirits. Age stated Kentucky bourbon has grown increasingly rare, and to have these single barrels bottled at full proof from Kentucky rather than Indiana or Tennessee is a rarer treat still. Even at 6 years old, the youngest of our lineup, this shows tremendous depth. Viscous in the glass from its nearly 60% alcohol, it brims with lively aromas of cherry, nectarine, wood and a touch of grass. On the palate, it displays all the hallmarks of young, high quality spirit, with ample fruit and a wealth of vanilla and spice, rounded out by subtle chamomile. It remains fresh and mildly sweet without once feeling hot or overblown. A touch of water brings amps up the spice and brings out the more savory character here, highlighting the cinnamon spice and bringing up whiffs of dark cocoa and coconut husk. Truly, though, it doesn't need any adulteration; it's vibrant and exciting right out of the gate, incredibly approachable and easy to drink despite its impressive strength.

Notes

The exceptional blenders at Barrell have proven time and time again that they can make distinctive whiskies by finishing and blending various stocks. But sometimes you don't need to add or change anything to create an exceptional bourbon. So few distillers in Kentucky are willing to bottle at cask strength that we jumped at the chance when barrell offered us real Kentucky Bourbon at full strength. Of course, the sources are hidden, but It almost doesn't matter where it's distilled in Kentucky, everyone is making exceptional juice and when you're able to be picky you come across gems like this. We went through a few sets of samples to find this exceptional 6 year. Most will look at the lower age and jump on the two 8 year barrels we have, which are exceptional in their own right, but no barrel of whisky we bottle this year is going to match this ridiculously delish cask for its pungency and balance. Another example of how Kentucky bourbon need not be old to be superlative.
