We love sharing our homemade liquid because we get to let y'all taste what makes our part of the world so perfect for making whiskey. With this Bourbon recipe, we add a modest amount of rye to play well with our casks in the Appalachian climate. It's a surprising meddling of flavors and geographical super powers that just work effortlessly.

Didn't know we made a rye-backed Bourbon? Yeah... we didn't but now we do. You're welcome. So please enjoy this newly minted convergence of flavors from our home to yours.

De Garre Triple Ale

This is the house beer for the famous pub in Brugges under the same name, De Garre! The pub is well concealed down a long alley where only beer lovers in search of this gem can successfully find it. This Belgian triple packs a big punch at 11% ABV. For this reason the pub owner will only allow any one visitor to order three during a sitting at this historic pub.

This beer is brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge, famous for other big Belgian ales Piraat and Gulden Draak. The De Garre glass is as distinctive as the beer with a doorknob base and rounded chalice supporting such a big beer. De Garre is brewed using a traditional Belgian triple base with two times the amount of malt which allows the brewer to achieve the 11% ABV.

Barrell Bourbon Batch #032 Cask Strength


We scored 66 bottles at this price!
Save $30 per bottle!



Barrell Bourbon Batch #032 Cask Strength.....$44.99 super sale!
was $74.99
  • A blend of straight Bourbon Whiskeys
  • Distilled and aged in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana
  • Selection of 5, 6, 7, and 10-year-old barrels
  • Aged in American white oak barrels
  • Bottled in Kentucky
  • 115.34 proof cask strength bottling
Batch 032 began with a balance of two sets of barrels: a selection of 5 and 6-year-old barrels with a creamy and tropical profile and a selection of 6, 7 and 10-year-old barrels vatted for their complex, old, woody character. These two sets of barrels were slowly blended over three months. A small group of spice driven 7-year-old barrels with notes of cinnamon toast, coffee bean and chocolate were then carefully added to complete the blend. The result is a decadent and rich bourbon with layers of spice and nuttiness.


A lot of big reviews for this one!

  • Martha Stewart Living includes Batch 032 in The 6 Best Bourbons to Gift Dad This Father's Day: “For the Dad Who Marches to the Beat of His Own Drum”
  • Wine Enthusiast gives Barrell Batch 032 a rating of 95/100
