Bottled at the strength it came out of the barrel, without adding water. Barrel proof whiskeys often sit between 110 and 140 proof and change from batch to batch.

What To Expect

More intense flavour and heat. A few drops of water open it up.

Why It Matters

Many collectors prefer barrel proof because nothing has been diluted, and batches can differ a lot.
