About Barrell Bourbon Private Release
Barrell Bourbon Private Release is a premium blended straight bourbon from Barrell Craft Spirits, featuring unique microblends of aged bourbons sourced from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, typically combining components aged 5 to 18 years in varying ratios. What makes it special is the meticulous single-barrel-scale blending process, followed by marrying in bourbon casks for perfect integration, often with innovative finishes like ruby port for added red fruit and sweetness, delivering bold cask-strength profiles around 110-125 proof without chill filtration. It's ideal for discerning bourbon enthusiasts seeking complexity, high proof intensity, and limited-edition uniqueness over mass-produced options. Compared to category peers like standard barrel-proof bourbons, it stands out for its precise age diversity, regional sourcing, and nuanced flavors like chocolate, dark fruits, and spice, offering exceptional value at around $85 for 750ml versus pricier single malts or ultra-aged releases.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas burst with caramelized sugar, vanilla, and dark berries from port influence, alongside sweet orange, hot chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon, and malt balls. Floral notes and citrus mingle with oak and peanut in some expressions. Pungent florals and barrel spice evoke well-aged Sauternes with fresh and dried fruits.
👅 Palate
Rich dried fruits, oak, spices, and subtle ruby port sweetness coat the medium-bodied mouthfeel, with intense heat upfront giving way to semisweet chocolate and candied blood orange. Dark chocolate, cracked pepper, caramel, new leather, vanilla bean, and hints of smoke add depth. Vanilla, allspice, cherry, and peanut provide evolving complexity.
✨ Finish
Long, warming finish lingers with caramel, vanilla, dark fruits, leather, and chocolate truffle. Medium to dark red fruits and persistent heat leave a memorable, spicy echo.
