Barrell Batch #037 Bourbon Whiskey
Batch #037 is a standout blended release from Barrell Craft Spirits, offering a mature, well-balanced bourbon at cask strength. It leans slightly sweeter and fruit-forward than some Barrell batches, but retains backbone, spice, and enough oak to keep it interesting. If you like bourbons that feel rich and orchard-fruit driven but still layered, this one is a compelling pour.

Tasting Profile
| Aspect | Notes & Highlights |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Crisp leaves, nectarine, caramel sauce, coffee cake, cinnamon powder, faint mandarin orange. Also: candied apple, smoked cherry wood, butter pecan ice cream, burnt orange peel, licorice, white pepper. |

| Finish | Warming and lingering: rye spice, leather notes, dry oak, baking spices, a hint of tobacco leaf and cocoa. |
Food & Pairings

Serve / Style: Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open complexity. Because it’s cask strength, moderate dilution can help.
-
Cocktail Use: Use in bold bourbon cocktails (Old Fashioned, Boulevardier, etc.) where its character won’t be masked.
-
Food Pairings:
• Dark chocolate, chocolate bark, or chocolate with orange zest
• Spiced or glazed nut desserts (pecan pie, almond tart)
• Roasted meats (pork, duck) with caramelized or fruit glazes
• Strong cheeses (aged Gouda, sharp cheddar)
