The Barrell Private Release Series allows the team at Barrell to exercise their blending expertise on a single-barrel-scale entirely by hand and by palate. Every ounce of every component changes the overall character of these blends, as does the barrel in which each one is finished. Brooklyn’s St. Agrestis provides the finishing cask for DJA1—ex-bourbon barrels which previously held their amaro, a bitter digestive with pronounced notes of clove, allspice, sarsaparilla, and peppermint.
