Nulu Toasted Small Batch is a non-chill filtered straight bourbon whiskey finished in toasted barrels and bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV).
Nulu blends barrels with various toast levels to create a well-rounded flavour profile that is viscous and rich. Toasting a barrel, rather than only charring it, heats the wood slowly and deeply, caramelising the sugars in the oak; finishing in barrels of different toast levels layers those sweet, creamy wood notes over the bourbon. Each small batch is blended from a limited number of barrels, and the batch details are written on the label by hand.
Notes of vanilla, marshmallow and sweet wood are frequently present in the Toasted Small Batch, with the oily texture and gentle tannin that toasted oak brings.
With its distinctive bottle, copper-wrapped neck and hand-filled label, it makes a handsome gift for bourbon lovers.
Sip it neat or with a single large cube.
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 containers, with nothing added but water.
Non-chill filtration leaves the natural oils and fatty acids in the whiskey, which keeps more texture and flavour in the glass; a little haze when ice or water is added is a sign of it.
At 110 proof, a few drops of water open up the vanilla and sweet wood.
