The Bottle
At 149.06 proof, this barrel earned Hazmat designation — COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) rules require special labeling for anything above 125 proof shipped across state lines. The whisky inside delivers a complex, concentrated profile: dried stone fruit, waxy oak, tobacco leaf, dark caramel. This is whisky that demands respect and a few drops of water to unlock.
34 years is an extraordinary age for any whisky. NBC's team sourced this single barrel from Canada, and at 149 proof it hits Hazmat levels — a designation reserved for the most cask-strength of releases. Barrel #327 is one of the most unusual bottles in NBC's entire portfolio: Canadian in origin, American in spirit (literally and figuratively), and unlike anything else in Nashville.
Hazmat whisky is a whiskey/whisky community designation for releases above 125 proof that face additional shipping restrictions due to alcohol content. Very few distilleries release at Hazmat levels because of the logistics. NBC's 34yr Canadian #327 is one of the most extreme releases in the NBC catalog.
