Barrell Cask Finish Series: Armagnac Edition 001 Cask Strength Blended Bourbon Whiskey 750mL
Discover a bold and sophisticated expression from Barrell Craft Spirits with the Barrell Cask Finish Series: Armagnac Edition 001. This limited release showcases expertly blended straight bourbons finished in rare Armagnac casks—one of the world’s oldest and most characterful brandies—bringing together American whiskey richness with Old World complexity.
The Armagnac cask influence imparts deep layers of dried fruit, burnt sugar, clove, and tobacco, while the blending team carefully selected bourbon barrels to harmonize and elevate these bold characteristics. The result is a whiskey that is both robust and elegant, delivering a multidimensional flavour profile from dried plum and dark toffee to warm vanilla, culminating in a long, lingering finish.
Bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered, this release offers a powerful yet refined experience for collectors and serious whiskey enthusiasts.
