Barrell Armida Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey

Armida began as an experiment that sent the BCS team around the world in search of flavors and aromas they felt excited to find in bourbon. More than a year later, they’ve achieved a whiskey which bourbon enthusiasts will crave. The ripe, floral pear notes provide a soft entrance into a whiskey that’s adorned with hints of spice and arid citrus derived from the Amaro casks and the toasty bourbon itself. This mélange of flavor is framed by the ripe, tropical sweetness found in rum finished whiskeys. Armida is a journey for the palate: from a brisk northern orchard to an ancient island, it ends up exactly as intended – an immensely complex and satisfying whiskey.

“With Armida, we setout to finish and blend whiskeys that tease the intended subtle flavors from the edges of perception into the forefront,” said Founder Joe Beatrice. “We’re passionate about exploring opportunities to source and blend outside the box, and to showcase the world’s most exciting spirits. Armida helps to further advance our vision of the next chapter of whiskey in America.”

Finish: The medium length finish is rounded with dark berry, molasses, and a dash of brine.

Distillery Information

Founded in 2014, Barrell Craft Spirits scoops up extra casks of premium Bourbon and Rye and bottles ‘em up at full strength. Each batch is completely different. Sometimes the coolest casks on the market are Tennessee-style Whiskeys, sometimes they’re Kentucky Bourbon. The good stuff could be straight, or it could be a finished wood. The point is that they find the best odd lots and “left-overs” that would more likely be tossed into a generic blend and sell it to us in all of their glory.
