Barrel Strength grew out of a conversation on the merits of high proof, cask strength whiskey and the freedom to temper one’s whiskey one’s self with water or ice…or not at all.   Barrel Strength magnifies the already pronounced barrel flavors inherent in Bourbon.   We liked it alot.   Highly recommendable.    We liked the buttery smoothness at the end, and nice notes throughout. The alcohol is strong!
