Barrell Bourbon 12 Year French Toast(ed) 750mL
Barrell Bourbon 12 Year French Toast(ed)
Blend of Straight Bourbons | 12-Year Age Statement | 53.62% ABV | 107.24 Proof | 750mL | French Oak Finish
Process & Profile
French Toast(ed) combines straight bourbons distilled in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Its components matured for 12 to 17 years before additional finishing in French oak casks. Barrell blends and bottles the release in Kentucky.
The finishing period ranges from 5 to 39 months, with an emphasis on Grand Chauffe barrels toasted for longer at lower heat. The name reflects both the French oak and the brioche, custard, nut, and baking-spice flavors that emerged from the blend. It is distinct from Barrell’s earlier 12 Year French Oak release.
