Barrell Rye - Private Barrel bottle reference image

Appearance / Color

Auburn

Nose / Aroma / Smell

Sweet and earthy with Indian pudding, halva, and shortbread.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

Rich with flavors of peanut butter and a moderate sweetness with notes of molasses, coconut milk, and sweetened green tea.

Finish

Gentian, chewed cigar and mesquite smoke develop into sweet cream and lingering saltiness.

It takes a special kind of skillset to really master the art of blending and sourcing the best premium Spirits when the world is your oyster and the folk at Barrell Craft Spirits certainly seem to have it. Created in 2013 in Kentucky by Joe Beatrice who wanted to share his passion for unique, high-quality Spirits with the world, the BCS lads certainly enjoy being progressive. They do stick to tradition when it comes to the essence of Bourbon, though. This means no coloring, flavoring, chill filtering, or water. Just pure Bourbon.
