Crafted to mark fresh starts, this annual release showcases the artistry of a team rooted in blending tradition and innovation.

Product Details:

  • Release Year: 2023
  • Age Range: Blend of 5‑, 6‑, 7‑, 8‑, and 10‑year-old straight bourbons
  • Proof: Approximately 113.54 (56.8% ABV)
  • Mash Bill: Derived mash bill reflecting collective grain profile (undisclosed individual mash bills)
  • Filtration: Non chill‑filtered, bottled at cask strength

Sensory Description:

The nose opens with classic bourbon notes, rich caramel, vanilla bean, brioche, and a hint of baking spice, layered with woodsy sandalwood and soft smoke. On the palate, flavors unfold into sweet oranges, raisins, figs, pecan, cinnamon toast, honey, and syrupy baking spice, finishing with warm oak spice, coffee, and a gentle sweetness balanced by a creamy texture. A subtle splash of water brightens tropical fruit aromas and smoothes spice intensity.

Awards & Accolades:

  • Whisky Advocate: 92 points for the 2023 edition

Distiller’s Background:

Barrell Craft Spirits, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is a leading independent blender and bottler known for its inventive, small-batch cask-strength whiskeys. Founded in 2013, the brand has earned consistent recognition from Whisky Advocate, Forbes, Robb Report, and other respected spirits publications. Barrell’s annual New Year Edition exemplifies their philosophy of transparency, creativity, and devotion to showcasing diverse flavor profiles drawn from multiple distilleries across the U.S.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve neat at room temperature (roughly 65–70 °F) to appreciate its full-bodied intensity, or add a few drops of spring water to release vibrant fruit and spice nuances. This bourbon pairs exceptionally well with rich chocolate desserts, pecan pie, roasted nuts, or hearty smoked meats, offering warmth, depth, and celebratory indulgence.
