Barrell Bourbon 12 Year Toasted American Oak Finish

Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 56.7% ABV (113.4 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA

Process & Profile

Barrell Bourbon 12 Year Toasted American Oak Finish is a blended straight bourbon whiskey composed of carefully selected barrels aged 12 years, with some components reaching beyond that age range prior to blending. The bourbon is distilled in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, then crafted and bottled in Kentucky by Barrell Craft Spirits.

After blending, the bourbon undergoes a secondary maturation in slow-toasted American oak casks. This finishing process is designed to draw out deeper sweetness and layered oak influence while maintaining structure and balance. Toasted oak finishing enhances caramelized sugars and cocoa tones without introducing heavy char bitterness.

Bottled at a bold 113.4 proof, this release delivers concentrated flavor, texture, and warmth while preserving clarity and integration across the palate.
