This Just In
We love to see our name in print. Jonah Flicker includes Barrell Bourbon Batch 018 in Esquire's 10 Best Bourbon Brands to Drink Right Now. He says "There are bourbon brands that source their whiskey, slap a label on it, and call it a day. Then there are companies like Barrell Bourbon, which carefully selects stock from various whiskey-producing areas, tastes and blends innovative combinations, and frequently releases new batches without being afraid of missing the mark." Modern Thirst rates Barrell Dovetail a 91 saying "the cab and port are the stars here, and the slight rum finish is wonderful. I found myself gazing into my glass throughout this review and marveling in everything that it has to offer ... this bottle is 100% worth the price." Adventures in Whiskey reviews the 2019 New Orleans Bourbon Festival barrel pick - Single Barrel G633 "... On the nose, dark chocolate covered caramel kicks things off alongside aromas of baking spice, fruit, some vanilla pod, and old oak. This whiskey screams balance on the palate. Orange peel and black cherries meet dark caramel and honey. A wave of baking spices (cinnamon and cardamon) washes over the mid-palate. Developing soon after are cigar box and some dark, oaky notes. The finish is long, with a sweet tobacco, cardamon, and caramel chew."
What's On Now
Our newest release, Barrell Bourbon Batch 018, is now available. We began with a juicy and tropical 11-year-old blend and layered in more structured and spice-driven 14 and 15-year-old barrels to give this batch a serious amount of character and bite. It's a blend of straight bourbons with all the comfort of your favorite Old Fashioned -- sweet and rich with notes of honey, orange and cherry. Coffee and tropical fruit on the palate lead into an earthy finish that invites thoughtful contemplation as the whiskey continues to evolve.
Distilled and aged in Tennessee and Kentucky
Selection of 11, 14 and 15-year-old barrels

On the horizon is Barrell Bourbon Batch 019, which will be available in May. We sorted a careful selection of 9.5 to14-year-old barrels from Kentucky and Tennessee into 5 groups. We then blended portions of those 5 groups together to maximize the unique qualities of each. The sweet opening notes give way to nutty and herbaceous nuance, all overlaid by a lattice of barrel spice.
