About this bottle
New England Barrel Company Stouted Bourbon Private Barrel is a single-barrel selection finished in a barrel that previously held stout beer, a technique that pulls roasted, chocolatey character into the whiskey that a standard bourbon cask never would. The base bourbon is aged a minimum of four years in charred oak before the stout finish, which adds a genuine coffee-and-cocoa layer on top of the usual caramel and vanilla. Expect a deep amber color, oak, caramel, vanilla, and a real hint of chocolate carrying through to a smooth, mellow finish. As a private barrel pick, this specific selection won't repeat exactly.
How to drink NEBCo Stouted Bourbon

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve New England Barrel Company Stouted Bourbon Private Barrel #17-45?
Neat or with a single large ice cube in a rocks glass lets the aromatics open up; a tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn is best for nosing. Once opened, keep the bottle upright in a cool spot out of direct light — whiskey doesn't spoil, but it slowly loses aroma once the bottle is more than half empty, so it's best finished within a year or two.
