Limited-Release Showcases the Company’s Blending and Finishing Expertise for Making Bespoke Blends

Louisville, KY (November 13, 2024) – Barrell Craft Spirits® (BCS), the original independent blender of unique aged, cask strength whiskey since 2013, today launched a special 33-year Canadian Whiskey finished in French Oak and Oloroso Sherry Casks at 140 proof (70% ABV). The BCS blending team produced 1,500 total bottles of the limited-release blend, 333 of which are now available online at www.barrellbourbon.com and 70 of which are available at the Watterson facility in Louisville. The rest will be available in select stores in select states for the suggested retail price of $199.99.

This blend of hand selected whiskey barrels is an exceptional representation of the character and depth of a mature whiskey. After maturing for 33 years in the original barrels, the whiskey developed zesty citrus and herbal characteristics with notes of vanilla and veg tanned leather. Further resting in French Oak and Oloroso sherry casks through the well-defined Kentucky seasons imparted robust and toasty highlights enhancing the complex sensory experience. Soft and satisfyingly mature, the aroma of purple berries blends seamlessly with hazelnut liqueur and garam masala. The palate comes alive with water; endlessly entertaining as every splash reveals different nuts, spices, herbs and sweets. But the finish always returns to a deep, mulchy earthiness.

Founded in 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky, BCS selects and blends products that explore different distillation methods, barrels, and aging environments. BCS’s extensive stocks of high-quality casks mean it can craft extraordinary blends that maximize the nuances of each ingredient. Creative finishes and a liberated approach to blending guides every product release.

The award-winning line of BCS releases are sold in 49 US states, Australia, Canada, South Korea, and the UK. Follow Barrell Craft Spirits on FacebookLinkedInInstagram, and YouTube, or visit barrellbourbon.com.
