Barrell Whiskey 18 Year Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauternes Barrels
Cask Strength Blended Whiskey | 62.62% ABV (125.24 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky & Canada
Process & Profile
Barrell Whiskey 18 Year Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauternes Barrels is a cask strength blended whiskey released as part of Barrell Craft Spirits’ Black Label Series, a program focused on extremely limited, high-age blends and experimental finishing.
This expression combines 18-year-old Kentucky whiskey finished in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels with Canadian whiskies aged 23 to 25 years finished in Sauternes barrels. Each component is matured independently before being blended to create balance between structure, sweetness, and depth.
The Cabernet Sauvignon barrels contribute firm tannin, dark fruit, and savory warmth, while the Sauternes barrels introduce richness, honeyed sweetness, and rounded texture. Bottled at full cask strength, this whiskey preserves its natural intensity, weight, and layered complexity.
