Barrell Craft Spirits - Private Release CQ01 (S1B54 STICKER)
The Private Release line from Barrell Craft Spirits is the ultimate showcase of a brand that's quickly become one of the best blenders in the game. CQ01 is a blend of bourbon and rye whiskey from Kentucky and Indiana that's finished in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry barrel. PX Sherry has become a favorite finishing barrel of whiskey makers around the world as whiskey aficionados can't get enough of the amazingly smooth and sweet elements added by the fortified wine from Spain. This pour takes on those classic sherry elements on the nose and the palate, and you'd never know it's bottled at a cask strength proof of 120.94 on a blind taste.
Caramel, vanilla, and then a raisin-like sherry element underneath. On the palate, there's lots of dried fruit here, a subtle nuttiness that meets sweetness from the bourbon base, and a gentle rye spice into the finish.
