Winner: Best USA Blended Whiskey 2024

Barrell Foundation Bourbon was their first non-cask strength bourbon. Their goal was to deliver a world class bourbon at an even better price point. The Barrell 5 Year Foundation is a classic bourbon with a finish that is creamy and sweet, emphasising cinnamon, toffee and vanilla pudding. Twenty-three percent rye in the mash bill gives the Barrell Foundation richness and complexity, while the approachable proof point brings out lush sweetness and dark fruit. Barrell 5 Year Foundation can be sipped on it own or create an Old Fashioned that will never be the same.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: An initial wave of honey, candied-strawberry, dark cherry, and grilled cantaloupe greet you. Notes of lavender and fennel emerge and are balanced by cocoa, brown butter,

FINISH: Creamy and sweet, emphasizing cinnamon, toffee, vanilla pudding.
