Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series: Tale of Two Islands

Barrell Bourbon Tale of Two Islands is a blend of straight bourbons from Indiana and Maryland, finished in casks that once held Jamaican rum. Those casks were peated Islay single malt barrels, first used to mature a Jamaican rum released in 2018 under the same name. The bourbon blend combines Indiana whiskeys of 5, 6 and 9 years old with Maryland whiskeys of 5 and 6 years old. The derived mash bill is 73% corn, 23% rye and 4% malted barley. The finish brings together the sweetness of the rum and the smokiness of the Islay casks beneath the bourbon.
