Barrell Whiskey Decade #2 is a powerful and highly limited release from the Barrell Black Label Series, created to showcase exceptional aged whiskey, unique secondary maturation, and Barrell Craft Spirits’ signature blending expertise. This rare 20-year-old whiskey is bottled at an impressive 141.3 proof, delivering remarkable intensity, depth, and complexity.

Decade #2 is a carefully crafted blend of whiskeys distilled each year from 1995 to 2005, then further refined through secondary maturation in Spanish brandy casks and Hungarian oak casks. The result is a bold, layered whiskey with rich fruit, deep oak, spice, and syrupy sweetness balanced by structure and power.

Expect a full-bodied profile with notes of lush dried fruit, caramel, toffee, vanilla, polished oak, baking spice, brandy-soaked cherries, toasted nuts, and warm barrel spice. The Spanish brandy cask influence adds rich fruit and sweetness, while the Hungarian oak brings structure, spice, and refined tannins.

At 70.65% ABV, this is a serious cask-strength whiskey built for collectors, high-proof whiskey enthusiasts, and fans of rare Barrell Craft Spirits releases.
