Barrell Bourbon 12 Year – French Oak Casks (Batch B) (750ml)

Product Description

Barrell Bourbon 12 Year – French Oak Casks (Batch B) 750ml is a refined, oak-driven release curated by blackbook for bourbon drinkers who appreciate maturity, texture, and thoughtful finishing. Built on well-aged Kentucky bourbon and finished in French oak casks, this batch emphasizes elegance and structure over raw power.

The French oak finish adds a nuanced layer of spice and polish—bringing notes of vanilla cream, baking spice, cocoa, and subtle floral tones—while the 12-year age statement provides depth and balance. Batch B leans composed and expressive, showcasing Barrell’s hallmark blending precision with a softer, more European oak influence.
