Introducing Barrell Bourbon T8KE 2.2, an exclusive cask strength straight bourbon whiskey finished in Toasted American Oak and Park Cognac XO casks. This innovative dual-maturation expression is the result of a high-profile collaboration between Barrell Craft Spirits and bourbon critic T8KE, building on the success of the 2023 Private Release.

Distilled in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, the blend undergoes a 14-month rest in toasted barrels to deepen its texture, body, and toasty character, followed by a refined 2-month finish in rich Cognac XO casks. This second maturation adds an elegant layer of refined fruit, dried flowers, and soft sweetness, creating a bourbon with rare complexity and balance.

Bottled at a powerful 120.58 proof (60.29% ABV), T8KE 2.2 delivers full-flavored intensity with signature Barrell richness, showcasing layers of oak spice, honeycomb, stone fruit, and caramelized vanilla. This 750ml cask strength collector's release is bold in construction and memorable in finish, staying true to Barrell's ethos of pushing whiskey boundaries.

Crafted with intention, this release is "Blended to Never Blend In."
