Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Seagrass

Rye Whiskey | 63.61% ABV (127.22 Proof) | 750 mL | Distilled in Canada | Crafted and Bottled in Kentucky | Matured 20 Years | Cask Strength | Finished in Martinique Rum, Malmsey Madeira, and Apricot Brandy Casks

Process & Profile
Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Seagrass is the older, more limited expression of the Seagrass line, built to push the brand’s coastal-inspired rye profile into a deeper and more luxurious direction. This release is a 20-year-old Canadian rye whiskey that is crafted and bottled in Kentucky, then finished in Martinique rum, Malmsey Madeira, and apricot brandy casks. That finishing combination gives the whiskey a broader fruit profile than a traditional rye while still keeping the grain spice and structure intact.

What makes Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Seagrass especially distinctive is the contrast between age and brightness. Even with two decades of maturation, it is not built only around oak. Instead, it layers tropical fruit, sweeter dessert tones, herbal depth, and rye character in a way that feels rich without losing energy. For those looking for an older cask-strength rye whiskey, a premium Barrell Seagrass release, or a collectible finished rye with more depth than the standard Seagrass bottling, this is one of the most notable expressions in the lineup.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: honeydew melon, apricot jam, poached apples, dried figs, rich caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon spice
• Palate: strawberry rhubarb pie, toasted marshmallow, wintergreen, layered tropical fruit, and mature rye depth
• Mid-palate: dense texture with savory herbal notes, sweeter finishing-cask influence, and rounded oak maturity
• Finish: long, lush, and evolving with tropical fruit, spice, nutty depth, and lingering dessert-like richness

What Makes It Special

• Matured 20 years
• Bottled at cask strength, 127.22 proof
• Distilled in Canada and crafted and bottled in Kentucky
• Finished in Martinique rum, Malmsey Madeira, and apricot brandy casks
• More limited and more mature than the core Seagrass release
• Strong fit for collectors and for those looking for an older finished rye with tropical fruit, spice, and cask-strength intensity

How to Enjoy
Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Seagrass is best enjoyed neat first so the age, texture, and layered finishing-cask influence can fully open in the glass. Let it rest for several minutes before sipping to bring out more of the fruit, rye spice, and mature oak. A few drops of water can widen the aromatics and pull forward more of the dessert-toned and tropical notes. This is also an excellent side-by-side bottle for those looking to compare it against standard Barrell Seagrass and see how extra age changes the profile.
