Hidden Barn Bourbon is raising the bar for Kentucky Straight Bourbon with their latest release – a 7-year-old expression finished in French oak. This meticulously crafted spirit boasts a unique flavor profile, perfect for bourbon enthusiasts seeking an exceptional drinking experience.
Double-Distilled Heritage with a Twist
The Hidden Barn 7 Year Old Bourbon is a blend of five barrels, each aged for seven years at the Neeley Family Distillery. The mash bill features a classic 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley combination. But what truly sets this bourbon apart is its fermentation process. Neeley Family Distillery employs wild-crafted Appalachian yeast and sweet mash, contributing to the bourbon’s distinctive character.
A Journey Through Two Barrels
The first five years of the aging process take place in open-air seasoned barrels that have been prepped for 24 months. This initial stage lays the foundation for the bourbon’s rich flavor. For the final two years, the spirit is transferred to new, charred French oak barrels. This unique finishing step introduces fruity notes and subtle spice, creating a truly complex and satisfying bourbon.
Aromatic Delights and a Luxurious Finish
Hidden Barn 7 Year Old Bourbon is bottled at cask strength, offering an unadulterated taste experience at 109.4 proof (54.7% ABV). The bourbon boasts a captivating aroma of overripe blackberries and red currants, complemented by the sweetness of crème brûlée and a hint of refreshing spearmint. On the palate, the spirit delivers a rich and full-bodied character with a semi-dry, rounded finish. Expect notes of toasted allspice, banana bread, and a touch of black pepper for a delightful complexity.
