Barrell Bourbon T8KE 2.1 Toasted Oak Finish Cask Strength 750ml

Experience the next evolution of craftsmanship with Barrell Bourbon T8KE 2.1, an exceptional cask strength straight bourbon whiskey finished in Toasted American Oak. Created in collaboration with acclaimed whiskey reviewer T8KE, this limited release takes the 2023 Private Release to bold new heights through extended aging and expert barrel selection.

Distilled in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, this bourbon undergoes an additional 16 months of secondary maturation in heavily toasted barrels. The result is a dramatically enriched and matured flavor profile that brings out the heart of Barrell Craft Spirits' blending expertise.

At 120.7 proof (60.35% ABV), this uncut and unfiltered expression reveals intense layers of baking spice, vanilla bean, crème brûlée, and caramelized brown sugar, followed by bold accents of barrel char, dark tobacco, and a subtle black pepper kick. Every sip delivers texture, warmth, and complexity — making it a perfect bottle for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
