Barrell's Gold Standard for Ultra-Aged Bourbon
Barrell Craft Spirits built its name finding extraordinary barrels others overlooked, and the Gold Label is the flagship of that philosophy: only 16- and 17-year-old straight bourbon barrels make the cut, each chosen for one of four flavor profiles — fruit-forward "cherry bomb," nutty and oak-driven, high-proof complexity, and milk chocolate rounded by a toasted virgin oak finish. The result is one of the most decorated ultra-aged blends Barrell Craft Spirits has ever released, and a centerpiece for any serious bourbon whiskey collection.
Tasting Notes
Dark cherry and milk chocolate lead, with toasted oak, roasted nuts and a wave of vanilla from the extended finishing. Full-bodied and unfiltered at 113.54 proof, the palate layers dried fruit over deep caramel; the finish is long, warm and chocolatey.
How to Enjoy
This is a special-occasion neat pour — a Glencairn or neat glass, no ice, to experience the full cask-strength range. A few drops of water will open the cherry and chocolate notes further.
