Described in detail in the company press release, the process to create BCS Gray Label Whiskey was a complex one. Starting with two sets of 24 year old Canadian whiskey barrels and then finishing different components separately in Oloroso Sherry and XO Armagnac casks, the resulting blend offers a unique twist on what feels like a light whiskey base. Despite having spent 24 years in barrels and a 120+ proofpoint, the whiskey is anything but over-oaked and is surprisingly easy to sip. Tropical fruit flavors against sweet notes and an array of spices, the whiskey is layered in complexity showcasing what Barrell Craft Spirits is known for. At $250 this won’t be for everyone, but if you’re seeking a premium, complex yet characteristically sweet whiskey, this fits the bill.
