About Cedar Ridge Bourbon: Single Barrel Collection (S.b.c.)
Cedar Ridge Bourbon: Single Barrel Collection (S.B.C.) is a high-proof, cask-strength bourbon from Cedar Ridge Vineyards LLC in Iowa, bottled at 61.5% ABV (123 proof) exclusively in 750ml sizes for $52.50. This hand-picked single barrel release by master distiller Murphy Quint showcases the distillery's craft approach, delivering intense flavors from Iowa corn and extreme seasonal aging in 53-gallon barrels. What makes it special is its bold, unfiltered profile—rich caramel, dark fruits, spicy oak, and white pepper spice—that punches above typical young craft bourbons, offering complexity and warmth despite its youth. Ideal for bold bourbon enthusiasts seeking barrel-proof intensity neat or with a splash, it's a versatile sipper for those who appreciate high-rye mash influences and charred depth. Compared to category peers like other craft barrel-proofs, it stands out for balanced sweetness and spice at this price, rivaling established names while highlighting regional terroir, though some note thinner mouthfeel needing time to mature.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Sweet aromas of caramel, coffee crumb cake, roasted corn, and salted caramel popcorn dominate, with hints of tangerine, dry oak, cedar, and dark cherries emerging over time. Subtle cinnamon, lemon frosting, and sea salt add layers, evoking buttered biscuits and mature oak. Ethanol is present but restrained for its proof, allowing fruity and smoky barrel char notes to shine.
👅 Palate
The taste bursts with spicy brown sugar, honey, charred oak, cinnamon, and dark fruits like plum, blackberry, and raspberry, balanced by tart citrus and toffee. Oily mouthfeel coats the tongue with viscous sweetness, red wine, raisins, and snickerdoodle spice, though some find it thinner than expected. Full-bodied richness from toasted marshmallow and espresso provides depth.
✨ Finish
Long, dry finish lingers with white pepper spice, tannic oak, dried strawberry, and mild sweetness from dark berries. Warmth builds with leather, char, and subtle tannins.
