Barrell Bourbon Batch 006

Barrell Craft Spirits Founder, Joe Beatrice, is back with his latest product – Barrell Bourbon Batch 006! 

Batch 006 was aged for 8 years, 6 months in Tennessee and bottled at 122.9 proof. The mash bill is 70% corn, 26% rye, and 4% malted barley. Both Batch 005 and Batch 006 have the same mash bill and spent a similar amount of time in the barrel (Batch 005 was aged for 8 years, 3 months).

Despite their common heritage, batches 005 and 006 are worlds apart. This difference stems from the locations where the batches were rested in the rick house. Rested high in the rick house, Batch 005 is distinctively spicy and intense. Notes of deep cherry, bonfire smokiness, and the salty buttered popcorn finish announce themselves without subtlety. Aged low in the rick house, Batch 006 has a rounder, mellower profile that marries fruit and buttery notes with the spice and comfort of charred oak.
