Orphan Barrel Barterhouse 20 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Released as part of Diageo's Orphan Barrel series, Barterhouse was distilled at the New Bernheim Distillery. The barrels were stored at the famous Stitzel-Weller distillery, and bottled at George Dickel in Tennessee. One only to sell.

Other reviews... Diageo doesn’t operate a bourbon distillery. They source the bourbon for their Bulleit brand from Four Roses and the Bulleit Rye from MGP in Indiana. They also own the mothballed Stitzel-Weller distillery where they store barrels from many out-of-business bourbon distilleries. They have begun to tap into these stocks and are branding the bourbon that comes from them the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Project. Barterhouse is the first release in this new brand. Hard to hate, but hard to fully love. There's enough being offered at a reasonable price to enjoy here. Barterhouse is an above average tasting experience that you’ll probably enjoy your time with. For a 20 year old bourbon it has surprisingly very manageable levels of oak and a very playful amount of sweetness. It’s an interesting first release in Diageo’s Orphan Barrel brand that makes me curious what else they have in store. 45.1% Alc./Vol. 45,000 bottles - www.breakingbourbon.com
