About the Whiskey:
Barrell Bourbon 12 Year French Oak Cask Finish is part of Barrell’s Cask Finish Series. The base is a blend of straight bourbons from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Wyoming that have matured for 12 years, then receive a secondary maturation in carefully selected French oak casks with varying toast levels. This finishing step adds nuanced spice, nutty richness, and refined earthiness to the core bourbon character.
