Barrell Bourbon 12 Year Finished in French Oak Casks is a carefully constructed expression that layers mature American bourbon with the refined influence of French oak. After extended aging, select barrels are finished in French oak casks to add depth, texture, and elegance—enhancing the whiskey’s natural richness without overpowering its core structure.

Produced by Barrell Craft Spirits, this release reflects the brand’s reputation for precision blending and thoughtful finishing. The long maturation provides a strong foundation of oak-driven sweetness and spice, while the French oak finish introduces nuanced notes of baking spice, toasted wood, and subtle tannin. The result is a bourbon that feels both powerful and composed, with added complexity that rewards slow exploration.

This is a bourbon designed for drinkers who appreciate mature whiskey with an elevated finish—offering a refined alternative to standard age-stated releases while maintaining Barrell’s signature intensity and balance.
