Aged in the
second-use barrels that were once home to Kentucky bourbon, this
traditional English-style barleywine possesses the subtlety of flavor
that only comes from a barrel that’s gone through many seasons of ritual
care. This year’s variant will pick up more bourbon barrel character by
switching from third to second use barrels. The intricacies of the
previous barrel denizens – oak, charcoal, hints of tobacco and vanilla,
and that signature bourbon heat – are all present in this beer. Hearty
and complex, Bourbon County Brand Barleywine is a titan and a timeline; a
bold, flavorful journey through the craft of barrel aging.
