Barrell Whiskey Batch # 1 Barrel Strength

Barrell Whiskey Batch 001 is made from a bourbon mash of corn, rye and malted barley. The whiskey was distilled in Indiana and matured in Kentucky for seven years in ex-bourbon barrels. While using ex-bourbon barrels (as opposed to new American oak barrels) means the whiskey cannot be called bourbon, the used barrels allow the expression of many subtler, complex flavors masked by the abundant wood sugars in new barrels.

Each Barrell batch is different with a limited release. Once sold out it’s gone forever.
