Nulu 'Berry Butter Pancake' is a 7-year-old single barrel straight bourbon from barrel B956, finished in Maple Brûlée barrels and bottled at cask strength, 58.8% ABV (117.6 proof), without chill filtration.
Nulu is made by Prohibition Craft Spirits in Louisville, Kentucky.
After ageing, the bourbon finishes for several months in barrels that once held maple syrup and were toasted to caramelise the leftover sugars.
It is part of Nulu's experimental finishing series, and this barrel was selected for a profile reminiscent of a gourmet breakfast.
Each bottle is hand-labelled with its barrel, proof and age. It is a rich, sweet, high-proof single barrel and a fun gift for a bourbon lover with a sweet tooth.
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.
