Barrell Bourbon 12 year French Oak Cask 108.5 proof - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Highlights

A 12-year age-stated bourbon finished in custom toasted French oak barrels for up to 36 months, bottled at 108.5 proof; the profile opens with pear brandy and pineapple, then moves into cinnamon doughnut, stewed fruits, hazelnut, cocoa powder, coffee cake, and maraschino cherries, with hard spice, peppercorn, sage smoke, and a lengthy classic bourbon finish marked by exotic woodiness. The French oak adds caramelized butter, vanilla, and a distinctive tannic structure.

Barrell Bourbon 12 year French Oak Cask 108.5 proof

On the nose, pear brandy and pineapple develop with time into cinnamon doughnut and stewed fruits along with hazelnut, cocoa powder, and a whiff of resin and incense. On the palate, generous layers of coffee cake and maraschino cherries are pricked with notes of hard spice, peppercorn, and sage smoke, leading to a lengthy, classic bourbon finish with enough exotic woodiness to reveal the French oak accent.

Employing French oak to finish a whiskey introduces distinctive flavor notes of caramelized butter and vanilla along with a unique tannic structure, a glowing contrast to the familiar flavors American oak provides. For this handsome blending of 12-year-age-stated bourbons, the finishing regimen—no surprise, given Barrell’s artfully rigorous approach to cask selection—hints at devotion, if not fanaticism. Receiving anywhere from 3 to 36 months final maturation in hand-selected, custom toasted French oak barrels (Barrell’s longest finishing program to date), the resulting juice is captivating and electric.
