Barrell Whiskey Triple Rum Cask Finish is a hazmat-proof limited release from Barrell Craft Spirits — aged American and Canadian whiskeys, some up to 25 years old, finished in Jamaican, Barbados, and St. Lucian rum casks and bottled at 142.24 proof (71.12% ABV), one of Barrell’s highest-proof releases.
Barrell sources well-aged whiskey from multiple distilleries and applies its own finishing programs. Here, three distinct Caribbean rum casks layer tropical fruit, molasses, and spice over a base of long-aged American and Canadian whiskey. At 142.24 proof the spirit is classified hazmat-level for its strength — the high proof preserves an intense, oily texture and rewards slow sipping with water to open the aromatics.
