[https://www.frdistilling.com/single-barrel/] . Leonard’s pick,
Barrel #1432, was distilled and barreled at 120 proof on November 16,
2015. The bourbon includes tasting notes of caramel, baked apple,
savory, oak, wood spice, maple and brown spice after it was distilled
down to its final bottle proof of 90. “I really love barrel
#1432,” said Firestone. “On the nose, I get a distinct aroma of
baked apple. When I tasted the bourbon, I was shocked by the amount of
maple and brown sugar notes!” Barrel #1432 highlights the expansion
and growth of the F&R brand, as it started at the reclaimed
prohibition-era warehouse before transferring to the expansive
112-acre Whiskey Ranch. “This particular barrel had an interesting
life,” Leonard shares, “we initially stored it in a fairly dark
corner of our original distillery because we were running out of
space. Once we built Whiskey Ranch, it moved to the third floor of the
rickhouse - just about halfway up and in the center of the barn. In
its original location, it would not have experienced significant
temperature swings. Whereas at Whiskey Ranch, it most certainly did.
It spent about half its maturing life in each spot. I think it’s
really fantastic.” Troy’s pick, Barrel #1412, was distilled and
barreled at 120 proof on November 5, 2015. The 90-proof bottle is a
creamy & rich, nutty bourbon including notes of cream soda, smoke, and
fig. Troy shares his witty insight to selecting his barrel stating,
“Like with my children, I don’t have a favorite but each child
(and barrel) have their own unique traits and characteristics - I
chose barrel #1412 for its complexity and balance, with a creamy/rich
taste pairing perfectly with notes of fig. A glass of this single
barrel is a welcomed companion on a chilly winter’s night.”
