This Collaborative Bottling — barrel #1439 — was distilled in Tennessee and spent two full decades in charred American white oak before bottling, non-chill filtered, at full barrel strength, 61.26% ABV (122.52 proof), in a 750mL bottle. It is the oldest release the company has put its name on: Nashville Barrel Company does not distill, instead buying barrels from MGP and other undisclosed distilleries to age, blend and bottle in Nashville under a house rule that nothing goes out under five years old — this barrel quadruples that. Twenty years of evaporation leaves very little in a barrel, so the yield was a small number of bottles. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122.52 proof (61.26% ABV), barrel strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel #1439, charred American white oak, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tennessee, USA — Collaborative Bottling, limited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tennessee, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Decades in Oak — the Oldest Nashville Barrel Company Release\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican oak gives up most of its sweetness in a bourbon's first decade; a barrel that survives twenty Tennessee years and still pours at 122.52 proof is a study in what comes after — leather, tobacco leaf and deep char layered over the caramel core. As a Collaborative Bottling from the company's private selection program, barrel #1439 was chosen to be bottled on its own rather than blended away, non-chill filtered and at full strength.
