Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend Cask Strength 750ml

Craftsmanship & Origin: Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend Cask Strength

Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend Cask Strength 750mL is a premium cask strength blended bourbon whiskey crafted and bottled in Kentucky, USA, built for big flavor whether you’re pairing it with a cigar or simply sipping slow. Barrell Craft Spirits is known for careful blending and bold finishes, and this release follows that same “layer-by-layer” approach.

This blended bourbon whiskey is made from bourbons aged 7.5 to 18 years, sourced from multiple states, then unified through Barrell’s signature finishing and blending style. After blending, it’s finished in a mix of Madeira, Armagnac, rum, and Hungarian oak casks—each one adding its own note, from deep fruit to spice and roasted character. Bottled at cask strength, it keeps its full texture and intensity.
