The Orphan Barrel Project is a unique and rare release from Diageo. With every barrel hand bottled in Tullahoma, some releases will only be available once. Started as a project to share barrels of rare whiskies, forgotten in the back of rickhouses and distilleries, Orphan Barrel has delivered some masterpieces. And this is certainly one. With its 20 years in American oak, the Orphan Barrel Barterhouse 20 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon is as smooth a bourbon as you'll find. Warm biscuits and buttercream notes compliment spices and brown sugar in its finish. Truly a delight. …

About the brand

Designed to uncover some of the whiskey world's rarest hidden treasures, Orphan Barrel is the brainchild of world-renowned liquor magnate Diageo. A truly unique project that sources 'forgotten' or 'abandoned' batches and barrels that distilleries may have left behind or not released for production, Orphan Barrel locates ultra-aged American whiskeys from some of the most famous distilleries around the USA and reinvents their release. Whether it's the spectacular Lost Prophet 22 Year Old, originally distilled at George T. Stagg Distillery, or the scintillating Rhetoric 23 Year Old, which was partially matured at the old Stitzel-Weller Distillery, Orphan Barrel unearths some of the most beautiful and complex 'orphaned' bourbon whiskeys that the United States has to offer, giving them new homes where they can be enjoyed rather than lost in time.

Extraordinary whiskey at the cost! Can't beat it when the whiskey is more seasoned then me!

Posted on Jul 17th, 2020

Nose - Extraordinary dull caramel dim chocolate vanilla beans sweet tanned cowhide trace of espresso. Taste - Tannic oaky pleasantness sweet dull caramel trace of milk chocolate similar to a marginally oaky dim chocolate secured Almond Roca candy light cinnamon zest in advance light severe oaked earthy colored basic at the last part as it goes down. Finish - Drying oaky chocolate secured toffee light oaky/almond skin severe/sweet. Score - 91/100 Last Contemplations - I prefer not to concede this however I'm really an enthusiast of this one. It has a great deal of the flavors that I love in a whiskey which are dim chocolate espresso and caramel. Awesome nose. I'm a devotee of oak if it's decent and this does it very well. Helps me to remember this one Woodford Hold Twofold Oaked Single Barrel I had which I totally cherished. A small piece more tannic than that one yet it hits quite a few notes for me. Would I drink it whenever advertised? - Yes Would I explicitly arrange it? - Yes Would I purchase a jug? - Truly If the cost was correct.
