Tasting Notes: Candied orange peel, apricot, cherry, and melon Hi-Chew, juicy and leaning into custardy sugar tones.

The palate continues with ramped-up, sugar-coated fruit notes, then tapers into honey, Tootsie Roll, nougat, and a lovely, creamy mouthfeel with deep fruit and balanced oak.

The finish is like a fantastic Old Fashioned: sweet cane syrup, orange bitters, and soft, sweet oak.

A new go-to recommendation.

Each Foundation Single Barrel begins with a careful selection of barrels that are used to blend the award-winning Foundation series, blending complementary components to create a distinct microbatch. These blends are then re-barreled and returned to some of the most desirable locations within our historic rickhouse for extended aging, allowing them to continue evolving in Kentucky’s dynamic climate.

In a first for BCS, the rick number will be prominently featured on each label, highlighting the specific maturation environment and reinforcing the influence of place and position within the rickhouse.

True to the Barrell ethos of innovation and craftsmanship, the Foundation Single Barrels are produced in small, low-yield batches ensuring each bottle delivers bold, concentrated flavor. The barrels are carefully planned and built in phases of approximately 40 at a time, with launches rolling out in select markets only, making them a rare find for discerning whiskey enthusiasts. The first 40 barrels will be named the Founder’s Series.
