Barrell Single Barrel Canadian Rye, barrel V231, is a true single barrel rye whisky distilled in Canada and bottled by Barrell Craft Spirits at cask strength, here 140.72 proof (70.36% ABV).
Barrell Craft Spirits of Louisville, Kentucky, is an independent blender and bottler known for releasing whiskey uncut and unfiltered. Its Canadian Rye is distilled in Canada and bottled at cask strength at Barrell's facility in Kentucky, and every single barrel is a true single barrel, so each has its own character.
At over 140 proof, this is a whisky to explore slowly: add water drop by drop to open the rye spice and fruit, and the barrel's own character emerges.
A rare, ultra-high-proof single barrel, it is a collector's gift for rye enthusiasts.
Taste it with water, adding a little at a time.
Canadian rye whisky has a long tradition, and independent bottlers like Barrell select individual casks and release them without dilution or chill filtration.
Rye whisky made mostly from rye grain is known for pepper, baking spice, dried herbs and dark fruit. At very high proof those flavours are concentrated, so water is the key to finding the balance that suits you.
Single barrel releases are produced in small numbers, a few hundred bottles at most from one cask, which makes each barrel number a collector's item.
