Bardstown Bourbon Company Single Barrel Select Vol. 2 'The Barrel Tap' 122.2 Proof

Bardstown Bourbon Company Single Barrel Select Vol. 2 'The Barrel Tap' 122.2 Proof
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey  | 122.2 Proof (61.1% ABV) | 750mL | Aged 6 Years

Process & Profile

This second exclusive single barrel collaboration between Bardstown Bourbon Company and The Barrel Tap comes from Rickhouse D, Floor 4—the same prime aging location as Vol. 1, but with its own unique character. Distilled from a high-rye mashbill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley, the whiskey matured for 6 years before being bottled at a robust 122.2 proof. The rye-forward recipe delivers bright spice and herbal complexity, while the barrel proof strength offers an unfiltered, full-bodied tasting experience.
