Nashville Barrel Company 35 Year Old Single Barrel Canadian Whiskey West Coast Hazmat

Nashville Barrel Company 35 Year Old Single Barrel Canadian Whiskey West Coast Hazmat is a single barrel of Canadian whisky from Nashville Barrel Company, the independent bottler founded in 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee — barrel #291, aged 35 years in American oak at an undisclosed Canadian distillery and bottled straight from the cask without dilution at a staggering 75.54% ABV (151.08 proof), in a 750mL bottle. Proof that high puts a whiskey into hazmat territory — too strong for passenger aircraft carriage — and this West Coast Hazmat bottling wears the name on its label. Nashville Barrel Company does not distill; it sources whiskey from a number of distilleries, bottles much of it as individual single barrels, and is known for very old, very high-proof Canadian stock like this. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Thirty-Five Years, One Barrel, No Water Added

Most hazmat-proof releases are young whiskey that never lost its distillery strength; this one is the opposite — a Canadian whisky that spent three and a half decades in American oak and still came out of the barrel at 151.08 proof. Nashville Barrel Company's old Canadian barrels have become a quiet specialty of the house, and the West Coast Hazmat name marks this single barrel's extraordinary strength. Bottled without dilution, barrel #291 is a piece of Canadian distilling history measured out a fraction of an ounce at a time.

Tasting Notes

Dense caramel, seasoned oak, dark fruit, maple, tobacco and warm spice on the nose; an intense palate of oak richness, toffee, roasted nuts, dried fruit, leather, vanilla bean and deep spice; and a long, warming finish of oak, spice, caramelized sugar and lingering dark fruit.

How to Enjoy

Pour a small measure and add water a few drops at a time — at 151.08 proof, dilution is a dial you control, and the whiskey opens in stages from fierce oak and spice toward maple and dark fruit. More single barrels from this bottler live in our spirits range.
