About New Year Bourbon 2024 Every autumn, we create a very special blend of bourbons to toast the coming year. Barrell New Year Bourbon 2024 is a tribute to the fresh possibilities and sense of optimism that every new year brings. In 2017 we released our inaugural New Year Bourbon. We came up with the idea of blending a bourbon to celebrate the New Year, and we gave ourselves free reign to develop something to capture the spirit of the season. Up to that point, every release of our bourbon had been a marriage of casks produced in the same distillation season. This was the first time we blended barrels of different ages with different mashbills from different states - in fact, people poked fun at us for blending together so many different types of barrels. Making New Year Bourbon has gradually woven itself into our annual routine. In the past few years where so much of what we know and count on has been turned upside-down, we have found some comfort in this tradition.
