Barrell Craft Spirits Private Release G.D. Vajra Wine Barrel Whiskey AJV3 133.62 Proof Selected by R/Bourbon

Proof: 133.62 Proof

Finishing Barrel: G.D. Vajra Wine

Bottle size: 750 ml

Tasting Notes: Rich and beautiful, this whiskey is packed with layers of flavor. Sweet malt at first, followed by butter cream, caramel, rich toffee, nougat and a bold oak character. The Barolo finish adds another facet of complexity, savory tobacco, rich peppery bite and a big cherry, blackberry, fig presence. Long finish, the proof is high, and you can taste the richness it helps deliver alongside plenty of tannin, and a complex wine finish.

The Story: “The Private Release Whiskey Series is hands down our most ambitious project to date,” said Company Founder Joe Beatrice. “We pride ourselves on pushing the creative envelope every day, exploring opportunities to source and blend outside the box, and showcase the world’s most exciting spirits.”

Private Release Barrels, which are a blend of whiskeys (vs. single barrels), offer retailers, bourbon clubs and whiskey aficionados alike, something truly unique. At BCS, every batch is produced as a limited release and has a distinct flavor profile. Because certain batches were purchased through retailers or clubs, or may only be available online, BCS has added a special section to its website which contains the full list of offerings and suggestions for where to buy. Each offer contains between 150-180 total bottles.
