Shortbarrel #1

Single Barrel Straight Kentucky Bourbon

TOUCH OF OAK - WARM BAKING SPICE - CHERRY COBBLER

6.5 is where it all started. Our first ever release consisted of these 6 barrels of high rye bourbon, sourced from Bardstown, Kentucky. Shortbarrel started with these 6 barrels that contained a variety of tastes and textures ranging from bold and spicy Barrel 62 to sweet and zesty Barrel 69. While 6.5 Year is no longer available in the market, we celebrate it as a core memory and a significant foundation for Shortbarrel’s journey.

Tasting Notes

Aroma

Rye spice hits you quickly and
then fades into lightly floral notes.
Slight notes of baking spices,
pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and
mint candy in the background.

Mouth

Caramel, vanilla, slight mint,
surprisingly sweet while holding
onto the signature Shortbarrel
bold, lingering spice that has
become our trademark.

Finish

Despite a lower proof for
some. The long, spice finish
remained. It consisted of clove,
rye spice, almond, oak,
and tobacco leaf.
