The Infinite Barrel Project by Barrell Craft Spirits is an evolving whiskey blend, unique with each bottling. Each time a portion is removed for bottling, it’s replaced with mature whiskeys. This ongoing process results in a constantly changing whiskey. Inspired by the infinity bottle tradition, Barrell’s approach began in 2018, blending selected barrels into a single "Infinite" vessel. Since then, Barrell Craft Spirits has released 19 bottlings under this project, each distinct in character. Unlike the solera process, which aims for consistent flavor through symmetrical blending, the Infinite Barrel Project is asymmetrical and unpredictable. Bottles typically retail for around $70.
Big doses of cayenne pepper and oak on the finish make this quite the assertive dram to handle. It’s enjoyable, but expect less of a waltz and more of a hockey brawl.
The palate comes on with more force, revealing dark chocolate truffles, fudge and bitter coffee grounds balanced by orchard fruits, violets, heather and hay.
