Spirit Hound Distillers Releases New Bourbon Expression

As a whisky enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting releases. That’s why I was thrilled to hear about Spirit Hound Distillers’ latest addition to their portfolio: Barrel Project Bourbon. This new expression is a game-changer for the Colorado-based distillery, and I’m excited to dive in and explore what makes it so special.

A New Chapter for Spirit Hound

Spirit Hound Distillers has built a reputation for crafting exceptional spirits using local ingredients whenever possible. However, due to capacity constraints and high demand, they’ve only been able to release their in-house bourbon quarterly. That’s all about to change with the introduction of Barrel Project Bourbon, which will be available year-round.

The Birth of Barrel Project Bourbon

To create this new bourbon, Spirit Hound’s Master Distiller Craig Engelhorn tasted countless bourbons before finding the perfect partner for the project. The result is a bourbon that’s been finished in freshly emptied barrels of award-winning Spirit Hound American Single Malt Whisky. This unique finishing process gives the bourbon a distinct “Spirit Hound Soul.”

What’s in the Bottle?

Barrel Project Bourbon boasts a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley, aged in fresh American white oak barrels with a #4 char and a level #3 barrel head char. The finishing process in Spirit Hound’s American Single Malt Whisky barrels adds a layer of complexity and depth to the bourbon.

A New Era for Spirit Hound

With Barrel Project Bourbon, Spirit Hound Distillers is offering its fans a consistent year-round bourbon option. But don’t worry, the distillery is still committed to producing its prized in-house bourbon, with the next release scheduled for September. This means that fans will have the opportunity to experience two distinct bourbon offerings from Spirit Hound Distillers.
