Nulu takes its name from Louisville's NuLu neighbourhood, the East Market District, and is known for its toasted-barrel bourbons and store picks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNulu sources well-aged bourbon distilled at MGP, using two mash bills: 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, and a higher-rye 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley. After its initial ageing, the whiskey is moved into barrels that are deeply toasted rather than heavily charred, which caramelises the sugars in the wood and adds a layer of dessert-like sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt barrel proof, that toasted finish shows up as banana, caramel candy and caramelised sugar, followed by broiled brown sugar, butterscotch and a hint of spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToasted-barrel finishes have become a favourite of bourbon enthusiasts, and Nulu's high-proof releases are among the most sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banana, caramel candy and caramelised sugar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broiled brown sugar and butterscotch with a hint of spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nulu (PCS Distilling)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon, toasted barrel finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75\/21\/4 or 60\/36\/4 corn, rye, malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114.4 proof (57.2% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 114.4 proof, taste it neat, then add a splash of water or a large ice cube to bring out the caramel and fruit.
