Description
A decadent, maple-finished single barrel from NULU Whiskey Co., crafted in Louisville and sourced from MGP in Lawrenceburg. Aged nine total years, then kissed by a maple brûlée cask for layered sweetness without syrupy weight. Non-chill filtered and bottled exclusively for Skurnik Wines & Spirits.
Why it stands out
- Maple brûlée finish: 7 months in a barrel previously used to age maple syrup, then toasted to caramelize residual sugars.
- Serious age, singular barrel: 9 years total; single barrel B1243 at 57.5% ABV (115 proof).
- Elevated oak program: ~6 years in Colombian oak (Quercus humboldtii) at MGP, then re-barreled by NULU into char #4 new American oak with heavy toast from Speyside Cooperage; ~3 additional years in NULU’s Louisville warehouse.
- Recoopered with care: Maple brûlée cask toasted and recoopered by Tonnellerie Moreau in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge, Quebec.
- Non-chill filtered: Full body, rich texture, and maximal flavor.
Tasting notes
- Nose: Burnt sugar, warm maple, nutty praline, caramel brittle; maple-leaning yet never cloying.
- Palate: Sweet and oily with fig jam, caramelized sugars, and balanced oak; the bourbon core gleams through the finish.
- Finish: Well-placed tannin with a rye-spice pop—think cinnamon and clove—with lingering maple glaze and toasted oak.
