Hidden Barn Releases 7 Year Old Bourbon Finished in French Oak
Hidden Barn has announced the release of a 7 year old bourbon finished in French oak.
Hidden Barn 7 Year Old Bourbon is a blend of five barrels distilled at Neeley Family Distillery with a mash bill of 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley. Like all Neeley Family Distillery distillates, this bourbon was double pot distilled after fermenting with wild-crafted Appalachian yeast. The unique process also includes utilizing sweet mash as well as open cypress fermentation tanks. The spirit was aged five years in 24-month open-air seasoned barrels, then barreled in new charred French oak barrels for an additional two years.
Hidden Barn 7 Year Old Bourbon is presented at a cask strength of 109.4 proof (54.7% ABV) and is not chill filtered before bottling. It’s described as exhibiting aromas of “a gorgeous bouquet of overripe blackberry and red currant, coupled with crème brulee and a hint of spearmint.” The palate is “rich and full bodied, with a semi-dry rounded finish, coupled with toasted allspice, banana bread, and black pepper.”
Hidden Barn 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey carries a suggested retail pricing of $79.99 and will be available beginning July 7th at Neeley Family Distillery. It will also be available online and at retail in California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, and New York.
