Full Press Release On Barrell Craft Spirits Cask Finish Series: Ice Wine – It has been summarized and edited by AI and Bourbon Lens
LOUISVILLE, KY (September 25, 2024) – Barrell Craft Spirits® (BCS) is the original independent blender of cask-strength whiskey. It has announced the release of its latest bourbon. This new addition is part of the Cask Finish Series: Ice Wine. This limited-edition bourbon blend showcases BCS’s renowned expertise in blending and finishing whiskey with unique cask finishes.
Cask Finish Series: Ice Wine follows the success of previous BCS finishes. These include Amburana, A Tale of Two Islands Rum Finish, and Mizunara. BCS has once again brought together an exquisite blend of straight bourbon whiskeys. They are sourced from Indiana (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11-year), Kentucky (5 & 8-year), Tennessee (9 & 15-year), and Wyoming (9-year). These bourbons feature multiple mash bills. They are then finished in Ice Wine casks. This process gives this bourbon a bright and complex flavor profile.
Cask Finish Series: Ice Wine Tasting Notes and Composition
Bottled at cask strength (106.52 proof), the Ice Wine Cask Finish has a derived mash bill of 71% corn, 24% rye, 4% malted barley, and 1% wheat. This blend harmonizes with the intense sweetness, rich texture, and lively acidity of ice wine. It results in a bourbon with notes of stone fruit and white chocolate.
Cask Finish Series: Ice Wine Availability and Pricing
This new expression is available for purchase online at barrellbourbon.com and in select retailers nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $89.99 per 750ml bottle.
