Barrell Bourbon - 14yr Canadian Rye V421 bottle reference image

Appearance / Color

A clear auburn with fiery orange highlights.

Nose / Aroma / Smell

Sweet and earthy, like Indian pudding, halva, and shortbread. That theme is carried forward by corn sprouts, clay pots, honey, almonds, brown sugar and graphite weaving in and out. This is buoyed by bright and acidic kiwi, gooseberry, lemon curd and black cherry clafouti.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

The high proof is tempered by rich peanut butter and a moderate sweetness that carries forward notes of molasses, coconut milk, and sweetened green tea. The relatively modest amount of tannin belies the oaky-driven flavors of pine resin, juniper berry, ginger and leather.

Finish

Holds the earthy theme, beginning with gentian, chewed cigar and mesquite smoke. As it grows gentler, some sweet cream and coconut take over and leave a lingering salty note.​

This Rye Whisky was distilled in Canada and matured in a single cask. It was then moved to Kentucky for further maturation and chosen for its distinctive flavor, bouquet and texture. This limited offering is a true single barrel bottled at cask strength. Lift your spirits! Holds the earthy theme, beginning with gentian, chewed cigar and mesquite smoke. As it grows gentler, some sweet cream and coconut take over and leave a lingering salty note.​
