Barrell Bourbon Batch 023 is crafted and bottled in Kentucky. It is a blend of 10-, 12- and 15-year-old straight bourbons from Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana, aged in American white oak barrels. The mashbill consists of corn, rye and malted barley.
Never have I been able to blend two or more of my own whiskies in the hope to develop a whiskey that’s greater than the sum of its parts and been successful. But Barrell has and perhaps this is why we had to wait an extra month or two while these married in their vat longer.
As Joe Beatrice and Tripp Stimson of Barrell Craft Spirits go to great lengths to make every batch different, Batch 023 once again succeeds in providing quintessential Barrell Bourbon characteristics that I’ve come to love, but with its own unique spin.
