Cask strength intensity at 51.4% ABV
Only blenders have the privilege of knowing the taste of the whisky straight from the cask, at the stage when it is a concentrate of nature’s vitality, marrying layers of maturity and depth. From The Barrel, bottled at 51.4% ABV, owes its existence to the blenders’ desire to share the joy of that natural intensity.
A Natural Harmonization
We carefully blend many batches of matured whiskies and return them to casks for a few months. This ‘marriage’ technique allows different batches to deepen together as one, producing a mellow harmony on the palate while retaining a potent, high-alcohol whisky aroma on the nose.
