NULU Experimental Series Tawny Port Barrel Finish

Embark on a bold Kentucky journey with NULU Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Tawny Port Barrels. Crafted by Prohibition Craft Spirits in Louisville, Kentucky, this 120-proof (60% ABV) single-barrel bourbon from the Experimental Finish Series is a fusion of tradition and innovation. Sourced from MGP with a mashbill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, it’s aged 6 years in new charred American oak barrels, then finished for 6 months in authentic Tawny Port barrels. Non-chill filtered and uncut, it delivers a rich, complex profile with luscious fruit notes. Masterfully selected by the NULU team through diligent tasting, each barrel yields a unique expression. Sip it neat to savor its velvety depth or add water to soften the spice. Ever tasted a bourbon with such decadent flair? Priced at $90-$120, it’s a collector’s gem and a steal at $49

Nose: Rich caramel and dried figs burst forth, with toasted oak and dark chocolate. Hints of red berries and a nutty sweetness tease the senses. It’s a lush, indulgent invite.

Palate: Velvety and warm, with dark chocolate, figs, and warm spices like clove and cinnamon. The Tawny Port finish adds a sweet, winey depth with notes of plum and hazelnut.

Finish: Long and luxurious, with lingering fruit, oak, and a touch of nutmeg, fading into a smooth, spicy glow that begs another sip.

Pair this bourbon with smoked brisket—the fruit notes love the char. Want a bite? Try aged gouda; it lifts the nuttiness. For dessert, a fig tart echoes the palate’s richness. Feeling bold? Grilled lamb with a berry glaze ties the finish into an Indiana feast.
