Distillery: Barrell Craft Spirits

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, says Beatrice. This batch was bottled at cask strength (122.5 proof) without the use of chill-filtration (chill filtration removes the cloudiness that is natural to whiskey, but also removes the fatty acids and esters which contribute to the whiskeys overall flavor and complexity).

Barrell Batch 001 Whiskey Tasting Notes

Distillery Information

Founded in 2014, Barrell Craft Spirits scoops up extra casks of premium Bourbon and Rye and bottles em up at full strength. Each batch is completely different. Sometimes the coolest casks on the market are Tennessee-style Whiskeys, sometimes theyre Kentucky Bourbon. The good stuff could be straight, or it could be a finished wood. The point is that they find the best odd lots and left-overs that would more likely be tossed into a generic blend and sell it to us in all of their glory.
