Barrell Craft Spirits has recently released its Barrell Bourbon Batch 32, or as we refer to it the “Magic” batch for NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.
Batch 032 began with a balance of two sets of barrels: a selection of 5 and 6-year-old barrels with a creamy and tropical profile and a selection of 6, 7 and 10-year-old barrels vatted for their complex, old, woody character. These two sets of barrels were slowly blended over three months. A small group of spice driven 7-year-old barrels with notes of cinnamon toast, coffee bean and chocolate were then carefully added to complete the blend. The result is a cask strength bourbon (115.34 proof) with layers of spice and nuttiness.
Barrell Bourbon Batch 32 is available now for $90.
