Barrell Bourbon Batch 037 is a cask strength, multi-state blend of straight bourbons from Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky, bottled at 111.38 proof (55.69% ABV).
Barrell Craft Spirits, founded in Louisville in 2013, sources aged whiskey from multiple distilleries and blends it in small, numbered batches. Batch 037 combines Indiana bourbons aged 8, 11 and 12 years, Tennessee bourbons aged 13, 14 and 15 years and a 10-year-old Kentucky bourbon, sourced from MGP and George Dickel, balancing older, oak-forward barrels with brighter components.
The older Tennessee barrels bring depth and oak, while the younger Indiana components add brightness, all at full cask strength.
A numbered cask strength blend, it makes a fine gift for bourbon collectors.
Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Straight bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn, aged at least two years in new charred oak and bottled with nothing added but water.
Blending bourbons from several states combines different climates and mash bills: Tennessee whiskey traditionally passes through maple charcoal before ageing, while Indiana and Kentucky bring their own grain and warehouse character.
Cask strength means the blend is bottled without being diluted, so a few drops of water can open up further aromas.
Each Barrell batch is a one-off blend, so every number has its own character.
