Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend Cask Strength is a multi-state blended bourbon built for big, slow-sipping flavor — bourbons aged 7.5 to 18 years from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, finished in a combination of Madeira, Armagnac, rum, and Hungarian oak casks and bottled unfiltered at 111.2 proof (55.6% ABV) by Barrell Craft Spirits.
Barrell Craft Spirits, founded in Louisville in 2013, sources aged whiskey from multiple distilleries and applies its own blending and finishing programs. The Cigar Blend takes well-aged bourbon stock and layers four distinct cask finishes over it: Madeira for oxidative dried fruit, Armagnac for brandy depth, rum for tropical sweetness, and Hungarian oak for roasted spice. The result is a robust, layered pour built to stand up to a cigar but equally rewarding on its own. At cask strength and unfiltered, the full texture and intensity are preserved.
