Dettling "The Bourbon Bistro" 60 Months Cask Strength Single Barrel Bourbon The Prime Barrel Pick #138

Not every bourbon whispers. Some thunder. Dettling Cask Strength Single Barrel speaks with fire, depth, and patience—a rare double-oaked gem from Alabama.

A Rare Release Worth Chasing

Only 150 barrels leave the distillery each year. That’s scarcity at its finest, and why collectors hunt Dettling Bourbon like buried treasure.

Crafted by Seth Dettling

In Atmore, Alabama, Seth composes whiskey with a six-grain mashbill: corn, rye, oats, caramel malted rye, chocolate malted rye, and malted wheat. Complexity built from the ground up.

Aged in Alabama’s Heat

Subtropical humidity forces bourbon to breathe hard. Dehumidifiers protect flavor over yield, ensuring every drop keeps its character and delivers uncompromised richness.

Double Oak, Double Impact

Finished in Kelvin Cooperage barrels—heavy toast, char #3—the whiskey drinks older than its years. Layers of spice, caramel, roasted wood, and warmth saturate every sip.
