Blackwood Toasted Bourbon Barrel Strength Batch 4
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 59% ABV (118 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA | Toasted Barrel Finish | Limited Batch 4 Release
Process & Profile
Blackwood Toasted Bourbon Barrel Strength Batch 4 is a limited Kentucky straight bourbon that builds on the brand’s signature toasted finishing approach. After its initial maturation, the bourbon is finished in small batches using Blackwood’s proprietary toasting process, designed to push vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood notes further than a standard char-driven profile. The result is a barrel strength bourbon that aims for depth and richness without losing structure.
Batch 4 continues the Blackwood Toasted Bourbon line with a full-bodied style that leans into dessert-toned sweetness, developed oak, and a bold, warming finish. The mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley gives the whiskey a strong bourbon core with enough rye content to keep the sweeter toasted notes in balance. For buyers looking for a toasted bourbon with real weight and a more concentrated profile, this is the kind of bottle that stands out on the shelf and in the glass.

How to Enjoy
Blackwood Toasted Bourbon Barrel Strength Batch 4 is best enjoyed neat first so the full texture and toasted-barrel profile can show clearly. A few drops of water can help open the sweeter vanilla and caramel notes while softening the oak and spice. It also works well as a slow sipping bourbon for drinkers who enjoy toasted finishes with more weight and barrel strength intensity. For comparison tasting, it is a strong bottle to pour next to a standard char-forward bourbon so the effect of the toasted finishing process is easier to pick out.
