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.
