"A well composed barrel proof bourbon that drinks higher than its age leads on. A solid inaugural offering — and a strong signal of what this program is capable of."

"The new line quickly earned recognition, with core products landing double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and ranking 2nd and 4th in Fred Minnick's Top 100 of 2024. Barrel selection is paramount — no blend or single barrel is ever released under five years old."

"At 121 proof it still drinks like a caramel bomb. This is one of the first Nashtucky private barrels to land outside of Tennessee — the 9-year is one of the most unique profiles I've had in a while. If you see spots open, sign up."

"Rich, sweet, layered, and smooth. Could stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the best Elijah Craig Barrel Proof or Stagg Jr. releases. This is the kind of pour that checks all the boxes — and it came out of Nashville."

"A 5 year old bourbon at 115.5 proof and $75 MSRP that punches well above its price point. Nashville Barrel Company's sourcing and barrel selection program is producing results you'd expect from a much larger operation."
