Introducing an ultra-aged, decadent masterpiece from Prohibition Craft Spirits: the **Nulu Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon Single Barrel 'Old Fashioned'**. This isn't just any wheated bourbon; it is a carefully selected single barrel (**Barrel W122**) that has undergone a rigorous secondary maturation to amplify its flavors to the absolute maximum. With a total age of nearly nine years and a robust cask strength presentation, this is a luxurious pour designed for the discerning bourbon enthusiast shopping at Nestor Liquor.
The journey begins with a premium Indiana wheated bourbon that aged for roughly eight years in its primary new charred oak barrel. To elevate its profile, the liquid was transferred to a *second* brand-new charred oak barrel for an additional, extended **11-month finish**. This lengthy double-oaking process, combined with the incredibly high total age of **8 years and 11 months**, extracts maximal sugars, vanillins, and tannins from the wood, resulting in a dark, viscous, and profoundly complex whiskey. It is bottled at a fiery **111.6 Proof (55.8% ABV)** without chill filtration.
Finish Time: 11 Months in a second new charred oak barrel
Barrel No: W122
Proof: 111.6 (55.8% ABV)
Selection: 'Old Fashioned' Single Barrel
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich, deep, and heavily influenced by the second barrel. Aromas of burnt sugar, dark cherry compote, toasted vanilla bean, and intense, seasoned oak greet the senses.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety. The double oaking is immediately apparent with luscious layers of **caramel**, **baking spices** (cinnamon, nutmeg), dried figs, and sweet tobacco. The wheat mash bill provides a soft texture despite the high proof.
Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and drying. It leaves a lingering impression of dark chocolate, Espresso bean, complex wood char, and a final hint of sweet oak.
Why Choose Nulu Barrel W122?
Ultra-Aged Rarity: Finding a Nulu wheated bourbon with nearly 9 years of total age is increasingly rare, offering a depth of maturity that younger releases cannot match.
Intense Wood Influence: The combined 8 years of primary aging plus a nearly year-long finish in a second *new* barrel provides an "Old Fashioned" ready-made cocktail profile—sweet, oaky, and complex—straight from the bottle.
Single Barrel Exclusivity: As a single barrel release, Barrel W122 represents a unique snapshot of flavor. Once this barrel is gone, this exact profile will never be reproduced.
