Barrell Craft Spirits Launches Its First Barrell Full Proof Bourbon

Louisville, KY (April 23, 2025) – Barrell Craft Spirits® (BCS), the original independent blender of unique aged, cask strength whiskey since 2013, today launched Barrell Full Proof, its first one-of-a-kind full proof bourbon blend. While cask strength bourbon is bottled at the proof it is when it leaves the barrel, full proof bourbon is bottled at the same proof as when it first entered the barrel.

The BCS blending team began by meticulously selecting individual barrels and cutting each one to its original barrel entry proof. Through careful blending, they then harmonized these distinct elements into a bold full-flavored masterpiece, resulting in an exceptional blend featuring notes of hazelnut, chocolate, tobacco, and leather.

The new expression features straight bourbon whiskeys from Indiana (16 & 18-year), Tennessee (16 & 17-year), and Kentucky (11 & 20-year) which were expertly blended and bottled at 123 proof (61.5% ABV). Featuring a derived mash bill of corn (78%), rye (11%), and malted barley (11%), Barrell Full Proof is now available for purchase online via the BCS website at barrellbourbon.com and at select retailers for the suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750ml bottle.

Founded in 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky, BCS selects and blends products that explore different distillation methods, barrels, and aging environments. BCS’s extensive stocks of high-quality casks mean it can craft extraordinary blends that maximize the nuances of each ingredient. Creative finishes and a liberated approach to blending guides every product release.

The award-winning line of BCS releases are sold in 49 US states, Australia, Canada, South Korea, and the UK. Follow Barrell Craft Spirits on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, or visit barrellbourbon.com.
