Spirit Hound Distillers Celebrates National Bourbon Day with New Bourbon Release

Celebrating National Bourbon Day in style

Colorado’s award-winning Spirit Hound Distillers is excited to commemorate this year’s 2024 National Bourbon Day with the release of Barrel Project Bourbon, arriving at both tasting rooms on Friday, June 14, and joining its year-round spirit portfolio in full distribution at hundreds of retail partners across Colorado starting June 21.

“We followed our palate in trying dozens of base bourbons before finally identifying a flavor profile that lived up to our standards,” explained co-founder and Master Distiller, Craig Engelhorn.

The new bourbon expression was finished in freshly emptied barrels of award-winning Spirit Hound American Single Malt Whisky, giving it a “Spirit Hound Soul”. Aged to their discerning palate, Spirit Hound’s Barrel Project Bourbon is golden straw-colored and has an inviting nose with fruit, vanilla, and maple syrup notes. On the palate, it brings tastes of sweet corn, cherry, and subtle cloves. The finish is warm and lingering with pepper notes.

The Spirit of Colorado

Built on 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, this bourbon is a Single Barrel Bourbon unlike anything else. Each bottle of Barrel Project Bourbon will be produced and packaged as a single barrel release, never blended, to showcase the subtle nuances of each unique barrel.

Spirit Hound continues to make its prized in-house bourbon with the next release scheduled for September. Featuring a mash bill consisting of 60% Corn, 20% Malted Barley, 20% Rye, and a #3 barrel char, Spirit Hound’s Colorado Bourbon will give fans a unique opportunity to discover distinct differences between two quality bourbon offerings from Spirit Hound Distillers.

Bourbon enthusiasts rejoice
