Traverse City 7 Year Barrel Proof "B&B Private Barrel" Bourbon

The entire Bitters & Bottles team tends to weigh in on our barrel selections, and while a consensus generally forms around whether or not the samples are up to snuff, and which one is the favorite - it's never universal. This is to be expected, we're a diverse team of unique palates and everyone has particular styles or spirits they tend to favor. This particular barrel of Kentucky bourbon is the most universally acclaimed of the year - with nearly every B&B member's review going something like, "oh wow... but that's so good." And in between our barrel selection this spring, and the bottling in late summer, it managed to get even better. At 62% abv, it's plenty bold. Unlike other famous Kentucky bottlings in this age and proof range though (which have grown increasingly rare), that high abv doesn't come off boozy or hot, acting as a fantastic counterpoint to an incredible depth of rich flavors and complexity.Brought to us by way of the Traverse City Whiskey Co., a distillery an
