Barrell Bourbon 12 yr French Oak Casks B 750ml

Barrell Bourbon 12 Year, French Oak Casks Batch B is a blended-batch release from Barrell Craft Spirits, the Louisville-based non-distiller producer known for sourcing aged whiskey from multiple distilleries and finishing or blending it under its own label. This batch draws on bourbon aged 12 years, finished in French oak rather than the standard American oak most bourbon sees, which tends to push the profile toward drier spice and baking-spice tannin instead of heavy vanilla sweetness. Barrell batches are bottled without chill-filtration at cask strength, so expect a fuller-bodied pour than standard-proof bourbon. A pick for drinkers chasing an oak profile outside the usual American-oak norm.

How to drink Barrell Bourbon 12 Year French Oak

Neat first — Barrell's cask-strength batches carry enough proof that a splash of water, not ice, is the better way to open them up if the French oak's spice runs too hot straight.
