Barrell Craft Spirits Triple Rum Cask Finish Whiskey 142.24 Proof

This is Barrell pushing boundaries. Triple Rum Cask Finish Whiskey is a bold, high-proof voyage into tropical layers and oak backbone. Barrell begins with a blend of whiskeys distilled in Indiana, Tennessee, and Canada—some barrels aged up to 25 years—then finishes portions in separate rum casks from Jamaica, Barbados, and St. Lucia. 

Bottled at a fierce 142.24 proof, it’s unapologetically powerful. Expect the spice of high-proof bourbon fused with molasses, tropical fruit, and deep esters from the rum casks. The marriage creates a dramatic, layered spirit with both force and finesse.

Nose: Geranium, orange zest, buttercup, vanilla, pineapple, passionfruit, strawberry—all swirling in tropical esters.

Palate: Matcha, rosehip, clove at the start, then waves of sugarcane, molasses, and roasted nuts. As it opens, lychee, kiwi, and honeydew emerge.

Finish: A creamy pina colada melds with salt flats, limestone backbone, a whisper of mezcal smoke. Lingering notes of honeysuckle, lime zest, and peanut butter echo.

(Add a drop of water to coax out cucumber, green banana, butter, rootbeer, and herbal complexity.)

Pair with grilled pineapple skewers or coconut crème brûlée to mirror tropical esters. Dark chocolate with sea salt contrasts the intensity. For savory, try jerk-spiced pork or glazed ham to amplify spice, oak, and fruit interplay.
