Nulu Single Barrel Red Hot Cherry Rocket 7 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
Nulu Single Barrel Red Hot Cherry Rocket 7 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is a single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from Nulu, bottled by Prohibition Craft Spirits (PCS) in Louisville, Kentucky — barrel KY-91, aged 7 years and 4 months in new charred American oak and bottled straight from the cask at 141.2 proof (70.6% ABV), squarely in hazmat territory, in a 750mL bottle. No water, no blending with other barrels and non-chill filtered, so what is in the bottle is exactly what came out of that one cask. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

One Barrel, Full Strength, No Apologies
Nulu is the Louisville whiskey brand bottled by Prohibition Craft Spirits, and its single barrel program is where the brand releases individual casks at full strength, each one named and numbered. 'Red Hot Cherry Rocket' earned its name honestly: barrel KY-91 is a cherry-and-cinnamon bomb that happens to sit at 141.2 proof — above the 140-proof line bourbon drinkers call hazmat. Single barrel means a single run of bottles, and once KY-91 is gone it is gone. Browse more high-proof Kentucky pours in our whiskey collection and the full spirits shelves.
Tasting Notes
The nose shows cherry compote, cinnamon heat, caramel, toasted oak, cola spice and dark vanilla. The palate brings explosive cherry candy, red hot cinnamon, dark caramel, brown sugar, seasoned oak, roasted nuts and rich barrel spice, and the finish runs long and fiery with lingering cherry, baking spice, oak char and caramelized sweetness.
How to Enjoy
At this proof, a few drops of water open it up considerably — start neat if you dare, then tune it to your palate, or pour it over one large cube. It is a spectacular base for a barrel-proof Old Fashioned built from our cocktail ingredients. For more one-off barrels, see the rare and top shelf collection.
