Our latest barrel picks have arrived and they are an amazing complementary set of wheated bourbon and rye bourbon. We partnered with Shared Pour and Lux Row Distillers to select this set of Ezra Brooks Cask Strength and Rebel Cask Strength Bourbons for our followers and fans.
We selected these two barrels on location in Bardstown at Lux Row back in March 2022. After several months of anxious anticipation, they have arrived and are ready for you to order straight to your doorstep. While we’d appreciate you checking out both barrels, we understand if you have to make a choice, so hopefully the tasting notes below will help you make your decision easier (or maybe more difficult).

Bourbon Lens Barrel Pick: Rebel Bourbon Tasting Notes:
Nose: brown sugar, lemon custard, cherry syrup, vanilla, and dark corn syrup
Palate: warming and rich vanilla, with a pop of dark fruit, and flamed orange peel. A second taste after the Ezra Brooks rye bourbon leaves me with a more pronounced corn sweetness note that I often find in fresh baked cornbread.
Finish: medium in length, warm and rich caramel lingers
