Overview

Nashville Barrel Company does things the right way – source great barrels, bottle them as they are, and let the whiskey speak for itself. This barrel-strength single-barrel rye is exactly that. No cutting with water, no blending to smooth out the edges. What you get is the full, unfiltered character of a single barrel of rye, at the proof it came off the rack.

Every barrel is different, which is part of the appeal. The one in your bottle isn't quite the same as the one your mate bought. That's the deal with single barrel releases – and it's a good deal.

Co-founders Mike Hinds & James Davenport hosted the WHA barrel pick crew as they tasted through several barrels in their on-site tasting room, fitted out with experimental barrels aging away! This 95/5 MGP classic rye mash bill jumped out as a winner!

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bold rye spice – cinnamon, black pepper, and dried herbs – with vanilla and caramel underneath. The high proof comes through on the nose but doesn't overpower.

Palate: Full and rich. Rye bread, cracked pepper, and oak up front, with toffee and a bit of dried fruit in the middle. The cask strength gives it real weight and intensity that standard-proof ryes just can't match. A few drops of water open it up nicely if you want to take the heat down a notch.

Finish: Long and warming. Spice and oak linger, with a clean, dry rye kick that doesn't let go quickly.

Distillery Information

Nashville Barrel Company is an independent bottler based in Nashville, Tennessee. They hunt down quality barrels from reputable American distilleries and bottle them under their own label – single-barrel, cask-strength, no shortcuts. Their focus is on finding barrels that are genuinely worth drinking, not just filling a quota.

It's an approach that rewards those who seek it out. Each release is limited, and when a barrel is gone, it's gone.

Who this bottle is for
  • Rye drinkers who want the full, uncut barrel experience
  • Single-barrel collectors who appreciate limited, one-off releases
  • Anyone curious about what cask strength rye actually tastes like
  • Experienced drinkers upgrading from standard proof bottles

How to enjoy

Best neat first – try it at full proof before adding anything. Then add a few drops of water to see how it opens up. The cask strength means it'll hold up well on the rocks too without losing its character. Not one to rush
