Hand Barrel Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

Hand Barrel Small Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon distilled, aged and bottled in Kentucky, built on a high-rye recipe of 64% corn, 24% rye and 12% malted barley. The spirit goes into new American white oak barrels with a #4 char, the heavy alligator-skin level, at an entry proof between 105 and 115, well under the 125-proof legal ceiling, so less water is needed later and more of the barrel's character comes through at bottling. Each small batch is bottled at 105 proof and left non-chill filtered, keeping the oils and texture that filtering would strip out. Hand Barrel doesn't print an age statement, but its own tasting notes lay out the profile: a pale amber pour with toffee, caramel, buttered corn and cinnamon-pepper spice on the nose. The palate is round and viscous, with waves of oaky caramel and butter broken up by bursts of pepper, then a honeyed sweetness carrying baked apple and cinnamon. The finish is a vibrant pepper, cinnamon and mint burn with a light tannic grip. At 105 proof it holds up neat, takes a splash of water well, and has the backbone for an Old Fashioned.
