One Barrel, 118.4 Proof, Picked by San Diego
Barrel picks are whiskey's version of a chef's table — one barrel, tasted and chosen by a group, bottled uncut exactly as it came out of the wood. The San Diego Barrel Boys picked this 7-year MGP barrel through Traverse City Whiskey Co.'s single-barrel program and bottled it at a full 118.4 proof, no water added. The MGP connection is no secret: Traverse City's own listing flags these barrels as Indiana distillate, and the brand publishes only the broad strokes of the mash — corn, rye, and malted barley, no ratios. What the pick gives you is singularity: this 'Larry' barrel will never be repeated, and the Three Stooges label theme makes the series an easy set to chase. Browse our bourbon collection, explore the Traverse City Whiskey Co. range, or compare the 6-year 'Mo' barrel from the same SDBB series.
Tasting Notes
Barrel-specific notes were never published for this pick — but Traverse City's barrel-proof bourbon house character runs to pecan pie and caramel on the nose, espresso, cacao, charred citrus peel, and cracked pepper on the palate, with a nutty, lingering, spicy finish.
How to Enjoy
Start neat, then add water a few drops at a time — barrel-proof bourbon opens up dramatically. At 118.4 proof it's also built for a big-ice old fashioned that won't dilute into nothing.
