One person’s scraps spent a year finding new life in Litchfield Distillery bourbon barrels—and what emerged is nothing short of treasure.

…Another Person’s Treasures takes the rich foundation of its predecessor and deepens every layer: velvety chocolate-covered raisins, sticky molasses, and dark caramel now wrapped in warming bourbon, toasted oak, and a touch of vanilla. Time in the barrel has smoothed its edges and added soulful complexity—like an antique polished to a gleaming patina.

Unearthed. Refined. Redeemed.

This is proof that what’s cast off by one, can be prized by another.

Can from tfontana, as pictured, drunk 11/14/25. Thanks, Tom!
A touch of alcohol is about the only thing that detracts here. Otherwise, is rich and fruity with bright, clear, deep bourbon and almost a port-like note. Grapey and with light vanilla and licorice. Strong but not sharp or hot. Malts show some fudge, raisin and gooey cake but no excessive sugar.
Rich, sumptuous malts have heft and chew but no syrup or excess sugar. Maple, vanilla, big bourbon and lots of raisin, grape and plum. Bright and boisterous stuff. It's rich and strong but doesn't feel so heavy on account of the bright fruit and playful bourbon.

16 oz can in a trade with Tfontana. Thank you! Black color, thin bubbly white head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, bourbon. Flavor of roasted barley, raisins, oaky bourbon with maybe a very light alcohol in the finish. however, no burn.
