Barrell Rye 13 Year Canadian Rye Single Barrel Cask Strength
Barrell Craft Spirits is a new(er) whiskey maker. If you recall, one of my early reviews was for the company’s other label, Stellum, which focuses on younger and a more affordable price point. Barrell Bourbon and Barrell Ryes, however, tend to be more Batch focused with higher age statements, as well as a few staple labels that are ongoing releases (I’ll review more of those at a later date).
This particular release is a store pick from Gordon’s Wine. Barrel # L941 (Bottle No. 127) which is a 13 year old Canadian Rye which was aged both in Canada and in Kentucky…..
Stellum Bourbon “Lyra”
Stellum is a newer label created by the folks behind Barrell Craft Spirits, blending whiskeys from IN, KY, and TN. You would have to ask them about their strategy, but it seems they want to add a more consistent staple product at a lower price point than the unique batch release strategy of the sister business.
