Barrell Craft Spirits (BCS) has added rye to its Private Release offerings.
For this special series, BCS selected rye whiskeys from Indiana and Canada and then blended them into unique recipes with variations on a theme. Beginning this month with 10 initial selections, each release will feature a blend of rye designed for its unique finishing cask.
The BCS Private Release Rye Series includes finishes in an Armagnac Cask, a Bourbon Whiskey Barrel, an XO Cognac Cask, an Oloroso Sherry Barrel, a Madeira Barrel, a Ruby Port Barrel, a Barbados Rum Cask, a Sauternes Barrel, a Tokaji Barrel, and a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Barrel.
BCS’ Private Release Series showcases the team’s blending expertise while maintaining a single barrel-like scale controlled entirely by hand and by palate.
“We’ve expanded our successful Private Release program to include rye whiskeys featuring unique finishing barrels and casks from around America and the world,” said Barrell Craft Spirits Founder Joe Beatrice. “For more than 10 years, we’ve led the industry in micro-blending and have proudly pioneered many of these finishes being utilized by other producers today.”
Each offering in the Barrell Craft Spirits Private Release Series is produced as a limited release and contains between 150-180 total bottles, for $109.99 each.
