Barrell Bourbon Batch 038 Cask Strength 750ml

Batch 038 comes in hot and honest: cask strength at 116.96 proof (58.48% ABV), a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys that includes a 12-year Kentucky component alongside Indiana, Tennessee, and Maryland bourbons. Barrell Craft Spirits, founded in 2013 in Louisville by Joe Beatrice, built its reputation on limited, batch‑labeled releases bottled at full proof. This single-batch bottling leans on fully mature stocks aged in new American oak, blended for balance and intensity, then left undiluted—no finishing, just the whiskey as the barrels made it. The nose and palate deliver the hallmark Barrell profile: deep toasted oak over sweet corn and brown sugar, framed by spice and citrus lift at this robust proof. Collectors chase these batches because they’re here once and gone—each number a unique snapshot of Barrell’s blending bench. Batch 038’s patriotic livery and award pedigree seal the deal for the shelf and the glass.
