Barrell Bourbon Batch is a masterful small-batch release that exemplifies the artistry of blending, delivering a bold, complex, and deeply satisfying bourbon experience. Crafted from a blend of 8 to 15-year-old straight bourbons sourced from Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky, this expression reflects Barrell Craft Spirits’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of American whiskey. Each batch is distinct, ensuring no two releases are ever the same—making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike. This batch features a derived mash bill of 78% corn, 18% rye, and 4% malted barley, resulting in a beautifully balanced bourbon with both sweetness and spice. Bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered, it delivers robust flavor and layered complexity with every sip.
