The Story
Every fall for the past decade, Barrell Craft Spirits has created a special New Year blend to mark the arrival of the coming year. The 2027 edition wears a new, celebratory label and casts the widest net yet: straight bourbons distilled in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wyoming, Maryland, Texas, and Ohio, each with its own age, mash bill, and regional character. The oldest stocks — a 16-year-old Tennessee bourbon and a 13-year-old Wyoming bourbon — bring the depth, while younger Texas and Ohio barrels keep the blend lively. The result is a uniquely layered bourbon whiskey that has made the New Year series a favorite among collectors and a showcase of Barrell's blending craft.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Chestnut. Nose: Freshly pressed cider and apple blossom over honey and hay, opening into herbaceous basil, elderflower, and fennel seed, with ginger ale, fig jam, and a wisp of char from the older barrels. Palate: Demerara sugar, tobacco, and earthy tea over seasoned oak, with a rich thread of maple walnut; a splash of water turns it syrupy and tropical, bringing out papaya, mango, and melon. Finish: Long and warming, led by seasoned oak and dark sugar.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat in a Glencairn to take in the full cask-strength aroma, then add a splash of water — the 2027 blend rewards it, opening up the tropical fruit notes hiding under the oak. It also stands up beautifully over a single large cube for a slower, richer sip.
