In the whiskey industry, the past is always with you. But Barrell Bourbon has set themselves apart by always keeping one eye on the future. Maybe that’s why they love celebrating the New Year so much. Each autumn, Barrell Bourbon creates a very special blend of bourbons as a toast to the new beginnings and fresh energy of the year to come.
Making New Year Bourbon gives Barrell Bourbon an opportunity to see the pillars of their brand through clear eyes, celebrate the inherent creativity of their blending process, and rededicate themselves to their forward-thinking, quality-driven line of spirits.
Released at the beginning of December, Barrell New Year Bourbon 2023 is a tribute to the optimism that every new year brings.

FLAVOR NOTES
Classic, with caramel on the nose, vanilla and spice on the palate, and a creamy finish. A splash of water introduces a plethora of tropical fruits to the nose while the syrupy palate displays a range of rich liqueurs.
Neat
Appearance: Chestnut brown.
Nose: A classic bourbon opening of brioche and caramel. Added to that is a woodsy underpinning of sandalwood and a wisp of smoke. It evolves through a range of sweets: amaretto, coconut macaroons, and cream soda. Gooseberry, quince, and lime cordial add a bit of lift. A range of mineral notes round it out with flint, limestone, and beeswax.
Palate: Though cask strength, the heat is kept in check by syrupy oak sugars. Black cherry soda and roasted molé take center stage. Vanilla is notably strong here and joined by fellow oak spices nutmeg, cardamom, and aniseed. The oak is well balanced by herbaceous rye notes along with rose hip, wormwood, and peppercorn.
Finish: Candied chili pepper and preserved lemon flash across the Horchata takes over as a creaminess builds, adding white chocolate, and cashew. As the flavors slowly fade, a waxiness lingers on.
With a few drops of spring water
Passionfruit, mango lassi, and ripe banana herald a broad range of tropical fruits. Meanwhile a leafy side expands, exhibiting cigar, tarragon, and peppermint. A rich sweetness overwhelms the palate, converting every note to its liqueur form: limoncello, maraschino, anisette and creme de menthe.
