Nulu Double Oaked Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Jaquera Wine Barrels
Nulu Double Oaked Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Jaquera Wine Barrels is Prohibition Craft Spirits' Louisville, Kentucky operation working Indiana-distilled bourbon through its signature process: a second round of new oak aging for color and depth, then a finishing stay in Jaquera wine barrels that layers red-wine fruit over the double-oak backbone. Bottled from a single hand-selected barrel — no two barrels taste alike — in a 750mL bottle. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Double Oak, Then a Wine-Barrel Encore
Nulu's double-oaking program takes Indiana bourbon and gives it an extended second maturation in new charred oak — the step that floods the palate with chocolate, vanilla, and caramel — before this edition goes one further with a finish in Jaquera wine barrels, picking up dark-fruit and tannin notes that sit on top of the toasted-oak richness. Because each single barrel is its own expression, this bottle is a one-of-one snapshot. Explore the Prohibition Craft Spirits lineup, browse more bourbon whiskey, and shop whiskey at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Expect Nulu's signature double-oak profile — deep chocolate, vanilla bean, toasted caramel, and warm baking spice — with an added layer of dark red fruit and gentle tannin from the wine-barrel finish. Retailers call the double-oaked line rich, bold, and extraordinarily colored.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat and give it a few minutes in the glass; the wine-finish layer opens with air. A splash of water or a single large cube tames the high proof without burying the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "double oaked" mean?
The bourbon is aged, then moved into a second new charred-oak barrel for additional maturation — doubling the wood contact and deepening color, caramel, and vanilla character.
Why is the proof not listed?
Single-barrel bourbons are bottled at each barrel's own natural proof, so every barrel differs. The exact proof of this Jaquera-finish barrel was not published; it is printed on the bottle label.
Is Nulu a Kentucky or Indiana bourbon?
Nulu is bottled and finished by Prohibition Craft Spirits in Louisville, Kentucky, from whiskey distilled in Indiana.
