This is the mash bill I’ve fallen in love with! I first tried it in Old Carter Bourbon Batch 14. From there I’ve been on a war path. I even tracked barrels down barrels of it to use in our Seelbach’s Private Reserve Amburana. When Barrell Craft Spirits offered a private barrel of the 99/1 (Corn/Malted barley) mash bill, I jumped at it. This will be one of the few remaining Barrell Single Barrel Bourbon’s as they move to offer predominately private select blends. This barrel is charred oak, dark fruits, and spiced apples. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

We also have a handful of bottles remaining of T8KE’s Barrell blend. Comprised of 25% 5 Year Bourbon, 60% 6 Year Bourbon, 10% 9 Year Bourbon and 5% 16 Year Bourbon, this is Barrell’s first entirely private release blend of bourbons, created in partnership between t8ke, r/bourbon, Travel Bar Brooklyn and Barrell Craft Spirits. Bottled at 117.52pf (58.76& ABV), 900 bottles were produced for the country, making this release a truly small batch.

Commentary from t8ke: “I wanted this blend to be as big and as flavorful as it could be without leaning on a single component for its flavor profile. The 5 and 6 year components drive an enticing nose, the 6 and 10 year components present a decadent palate, and a hint of 15 year introduces gentle, well structured tannin, without shifting the flavor of the blend away from bold, rich dessert. Say hello to your new favorite bourbon of 2023.”
