Product Description

Barrell Bourbon 12 Year French Oak Cask Finish is a masterfully crafted whiskey that combines mature depth with refined elegance. Built on a foundation of straight bourbons distilled in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Wyoming, each component ages 12 years in new American oak before being transferred into hand-selected French oak casks with varied toast levels for a secondary maturation.

Bottled at 108.5 proof (54.25 % ABV), this limited-edition release marries the rich caramel and vanilla tones of long aging with the subtle spice and tannic complexity imparted by French oak. The result is a bourbon that’s both bold and sophisticated — powerful in character yet layered with nuance, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Neat: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass to appreciate its aromatic depth.
With water: A few drops of water open up floral and herbal notes while softening the alcohol heat.
Pair with:
- Roasted nuts or praline to enhance the nutty sweetness
- Aged cheeses like Gouda or Gruyère for balance
- Dark chocolate with sea salt to complement the oak and spice
- As the base for a premium Old Fashioned, where its rich spice and vanilla notes shine

Why It Stands Out

A true 12-year age statement ensures mature depth and complexity.
The French oak finish adds structure and spice while maintaining balance and elegance.
Bottled at cask strength to preserve intensity and authenticity.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep antique brass with warm copper undertones — a visual hint of its maturity and richness.

Nose:
Opens with ripe pear, pineapple, and dried persimmon, evolving into aromas of cinnamon-dusted pastries, hazelnut praline, and hot cocoa powder. Subtle hints of incense, tea tree oil, and thyme emerge, carried by a whisper of toasted French oak spice.

Palate:
Rich and full-bodied, offering a harmonious blend of allspice, nutmeg, and peppercorn layered with creamy vanilla and roasted hazelnuts. Mid-palate notes of lavender, sage smoke, and sandalwood highlight the oak influence, while the French oak finish provides refined structure and gentle tannins that complement the sweetness.

Finish:
Long and contemplative, with echoes of blueberry coffee cake, maraschino cherry, and peppery olive oil. As it fades, hints of leather, pencil shavings, and aged oak linger. A drop of water brings out earthy undertones of pipe smoke, truffle, and spearmint.
