“Bourbon finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks: baked apple and pear, buttercream and black pepper.”
Tasting notes
- nose
- an opened cigar box, baked apple and pecan crumble, with fresh-cut tobacco leaf and golden raisin
- palate
- full and tingling; smoky vanilla and pound cake, poached pear with star anise, cracked black pepper and a coat of buttercream
- finish
- long, gripping the back of the tongue; stone-fruit jam and frosting richness, with black pepper that lingers
Mash bill
- Corn80%
- Rye16%
- Malted barley4%
80% corn, 16% rye, 4% malted barley. The figure is derived from the straight bourbons in the blend, distilled in Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee and aged 6 to 15 years. Barrell built the blend to complement the dried-fruit, chocolate and toffee sweetness of the Pedro Ximénez sherry casks used for the finish.

Why it's craft
This edition marries straight bourbons from three states, the oldest 15 years, with a finish in casks that held Pedro Ximénez, the dark, sweet dessert sherry of Spain. Barrell Craft Spirits sources every barrel from other distilleries rather than distilling, an approach Joe Beatrice modeled on Scotland's independent bottlers when he founded the company in Louisville in 2013. Like all of its releases, it is bottled at cask strength and not chill filtered.
