Single barrel whiskey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Single barrel bourbon)
Single barrel whiskey (or Single cask whisky) is a term that describes a premium class of whisky in which each bottle comes from an individual aging barrel, instead of being created by blending together the contents of various barrels to provide uniformity of color and taste.
The term is most commonly associated with bourbon whiskey. However, other types of whiskey, such as rye whiskey and malt whisky, are also sometimes available in single barrel bottlings.
The whiskey from each barrel is bottled separately, with each bottle bearing the barrel number and in most cases the dates for the beginning and end of aging; none of the whiskey is blended, creating a unique flavor for each barrel.
