Description
BUCKNER’S 13-YEAR SINGLE BARREL | 140.6 PROOF | CASK STRENGTH
A rich and unapologetically bold Kentucky bourbon, Buckner’s 13-Year Single Barrel showcases the depth that only long aging and careful cask selection can deliver. This barrel offers a decadent fusion of dessert-like sweetness, mature oak character, and classic Kentucky warmth.
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with warm cinnamon and toasted spice, wrapped in deep leather and buttery oak. On the palate, the whiskey coats the tongue with a distinctly oily, mouth-filling texture, carrying flavors of butterscotch, milk chocolate, and churned vanilla ice cream. Mid-palate reveals a subtle note of burnt marshmallow—a caramelized, smoky sweetness that adds a campfire-like nostalgia and beautifully complements the barrel’s mature oak.
The finish is long, warm, and elegant—cinnamon spice resurfaces, fading slowly into layers of leather, cocoa, charred marshmallow, and lingering sweetness.
Why This Barrel Stands Out
This expression blends dessert-driven richness with the structure and maturity expected from a 13-year Kentucky bourbon. The interplay of creamy sweetness, smoky burnt marshmallow, and seasoned oak creates a profile that feels both indulgent and sophisticated—ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of fully developed, high-proof bourbon.
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy neat to appreciate its full texture and complexity. A few drops of water coax out more butterscotch, chocolate, and marshmallow, while a single cube highlights the creamy, ice-cream-like sweetness.
