Barrell Foundation Straight Bourbons Review


Until now, everything Barrell Craft Spirits has produced has been cask strength.  Foundation is Barrell’s first bottling not at cask strength.


Proof: 100°


MSRP: $54.99


The blend consists of 7 bourbons from 4 states:

Kentucky bourbon

Age: 8 year


Indiana bourbon

Age: 5, 6, 9 year


Tennessee bourbon

Age: 5, 6 year


Maryland bourbon

5, 6 year


Derived mash bill:

73% corn, 23% rye, 4% malted barley


Color 👁️: Caramel


Nose 👃: Caramel.  Baking spices. Orange zest. Unsweetened cocoa powder.  Peanuts.  The whole package smells a bit like a piece of turtle candy.


Palate 👅:  Tobacco. Vanilla. Dark chocolate. Toffee.  Oak. Baking spices. Thick and heavy mouthfeel.


Finish 🏁: Toffee. Tobacco. Dark stone fruits. Baking spices. Long in length. Dry.


Overall thoughts?  Barrell has made a name with cask strength, but their initial 100 proof offering is a success!  It’s a beautiful bourbon at an affordable price.  It doesn’t matter the proof… Barrell is still good at blending.
