Barrell Foundation Bourbon is Barrell Craft Spirits' first non-cask strength bourbon, bottled at 100 proof. It is an artful blend of straight bourbon whiskeys sourced from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Maryland, aged between 5 and 9 years. The derived mash bill is 73% corn, 23% rye, and 4% malted barley, delivering a rich and complex profile.

The nose opens with honey, candied strawberry, dark cherry, and grilled cantaloupe, balanced by cocoa, brown butter, and cardamom. The palate unfolds with maple pecans, dark chocolate, cinnamon, tiramisu, and cardamom cake, with a creamy full-bodied mouthfeel. The finish is creamy and sweet, emphasizing cinnamon, toffee, and vanilla pudding. The 23% rye in the mash bill gives it richness and complexity, while the approachable proof brings out lush sweetness and dark fruit.

This expression has earned numerous accolades including Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Best Blended Bourbon at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards, a 93 from Robb Report, a 92 from Wine Enthusiast, and a 91 from Whisky Advocate.
