Bardstown Rye West Virginia Barrel Company Collab (Infrared Toasted Cherry Oak Barrels)

Bardstown Rye x West Virginia Barrel Company Collaboration is a one-of-a-kind limited release that merges Bardstown Bourbon Company's world-class rye whiskey with the pioneering barrel technology of West Virginia Barrel Company — finished in infrared-toasted cherry oak barrels for a truly unique flavor profile.

Infrared toasting penetrates deeper into the wood than traditional methods, coaxing out compounds that conventional charring can't reach. The cherry oak adds a distinctive red fruit sweetness and a silky texture that beautifully complements the bold, spicy character of the rye. On the nose, fresh cherry, baking spice, and warm wood. The palate delivers cracked black pepper, toasted grain, dark fruit, and a subtle sweetness that builds through the finish.

A collector's bottle and a fascinating exploration of what's possible when barrel innovation meets exceptional rye whiskey.
