Barrell Craft Seagrass Rye Whiskey
Barrell Craft Spirits Seagrass is a vibrant and boundary-pushing American whiskey that celebrates flavour through meticulous finishing and expert blending. Made primarily from American and Canadian rye whiskeys, Barrell Craft Seagrass is finished in a trio of casks—Martinique rhum, Madeira, and apricot brandy barrels—each adding a distinct layer of complexity. Bottled at cask strength, usually around 59–60% ABV, it’s unfiltered and unflinching in its expression.
On the nose, Barrell Craft Seagrass is tropical and enticing—pear, ripe melon, lemon zest, and grassy florals burst forward, underscored by notes of ginger and saline minerality. The palate is both sweet and spicy: candied apricot, honeydew, white pepper, and mint swirl together with the earthy punch of rye grain and toasted oak. The finish is long, coastal, and lightly savoury, with echoes of sea spray, marmalade, and warm spice.
What sets Barrell Craft Seagrass apart is how harmoniously it blends bold rye character with exotic cask influences. It’s a whiskey that feels both rooted and experimental—classic in structure, but completely modern in flavour. For fans of rye and those seeking something truly original, Seagrass is a standout. It’s an adventurous, sensory-rich whiskey experience that invites slow sipping and deep appreciation.
