Barrell 12 Year Old French Oak Finish Bourbon

Barrell 12 Year Old French Oak Finish Bourbon is a meticulously crafted blend of straight bourbon whiskeys distilled across Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Wyoming, then elevated through secondary maturation in hand-selected French oak casks. Bottled at 54.25% ABV, this high-proof expression showcases how French oak can deepen aromatic complexity, lending a refined character that bridges classic American bourbon with Old World elegance.

On the nose and palate, expect layers of pear brandy, cinnamon donut, and toasted hazelnut, followed by warm notes of nutmeg, allspice, clove, and creamy vanilla, balanced with subtle leather, sandalwood, and coffee cake on the finish. Made from traditional bourbon grains of corn, rye, and malted barley, it shines neat or with a splash of spring water, which draws out earthy tones of pipe smoke, truffle, and dusty old books for a contemplative, slow-sipping experience.
