Barrell Batch 036 Cask Strength Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

“Earlier this year, Barrell’s Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 36 placed in the top three of our ‘best new bourbons to buy this summer’ list, and it’s remained high on our radar ever since. Frankly, this is one of the best batches of barrel-proof bourbon the brand has ever released” – Frank Dobbins III, Uproxx

“Caramel corn, apple pie, and powdered sugar-dusted funnel cake leap from the glass of this carnivalesque whiskey. However, it’s far from one note: The summery sweetness is balanced by musty leather, oak, and dried citrus aromas. The palate is bold, with sweet heat befitting its proof. Vanilla and hazelnut sweetness are kept in check by pepper and warming allspice. Batch 036 maintains its balance through the finish, where sweetness, spiciness, and oakiness all come together.” – Shane English, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)

“Once again, it’s a high quality bourbon blend …” – Drew Bread, Drinkhacker (92 Points)

“In conclusion, Barrell Bourbon Batch 036 impresses with its deep and rich nose, offering complex and fruity aromas of yellow cake with caramel icing, orange creamsicle, tropical banana, raisins, and oak. The palate delivers an intense burst of flavors, featuring cinnamon, cherry cola, corn syrup, citrus, dark waffles, walnuts, white pepper, caramel, cocoa, and oak. The finish is equally compelling with notes of cinnamon, white pepper, orange, leather, stone fruit, citrus, and oak. This bourbon’s great attack of flavor, rich and creamy texture, and overall complexity make it a standout choice and a solid value for enthusiasts seeking an intriguing and satisfying experience.” – Matthew Evans, Whiskey Consensus (95 Points)

” There’s no question that the Barrell team’s blending is top-notch, and this release is another example of how to do it right. The nose and palate match perfectly and offer a well-balanced sip, ticking off all the boxes of good bourbon.” – Jes Smyth, Amongst The Whiskey

“Back from nearly a year hiatus since their previous batch release, Barrell Craft Spirits brings a label redesign and delivers a consistently high quality blend with Batch 036.” Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon
