Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend Cask Strength is a multi-state blended bourbon built for big, slow-sipping flavor — bourbons aged 7.5 to 18 years from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, finished in a combination of Madeira, Armagnac, rum, and Hungarian oak casks and bottled unfiltered at 111.2 proof (55.6% ABV) by Barrell Craft Spirits.Barrell Craft Spirits, founded in Louisville in 2013, sources aged whiskey from multiple distilleries and applies its own blending and finishing programs. The Cigar Blend takes well-aged bourbon stock and layers four distinct cask finishes over it: Madeira for oxidative dried fruit, Armagnac for brandy depth, rum for tropical sweetness, and Hungarian oak for roasted spice. The result is a robust, layered pour built to stand up to a cigar but equally rewarding on its own. At cask strength and unfiltered, the full texture and intensity are preserved.Tasting Notes Nose: Dark fruit, roasted coffee, toffee, and oak spice with a subtle sweetness Palate: Dried fruit, caramel, pepper, roasted nuts, and warm baking spice Finish: Long and warming with lingering oak, spice, and deep fruit Specs Producer: Barrell Craft Spirits, Louisville, Kentucky Style: Cask Strength Blended Bourbon — Cigar Blend Sources: Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee Finish: Madeira, Armagnac, rum, and Hungarian oak casks Ages: 7.5–18 years across component barrels ABV: 55.6% (111.2 Proof) — unfiltered Size: 750ml Browse all American whiskey at Wooden Cork.Frequently Asked QuestionsIs this only for pairing with a cigar?No — it was built to pair beautifully with a cigar, but it's equally rewarding neat or with a few drops of water.What casks finish the Cigar Blend?A combination of Madeira, Armagnac, rum, and Hungarian oak casks, each adding a distinct layer of fruit, spice, or roasted character.Is it a single barrel?No — it's a curated blend of bourbons from multiple states and age ranges, brought together for balance and complexity.{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is this only for pairing with a cigar?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No — it was built to pair beautifully with a cigar, but it's equally rewarding neat or with a few drops of water."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What casks finish the Cigar Blend?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A combination of Madeira, Armagnac, rum, and Hungarian oak casks, each adding a distinct layer of fruit, spice, or roasted character."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is it a single barrel?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No — it's a curated blend of bourbons from multiple states and age ranges, brought together for balance and complexity."}}]}
