This traditional English-style barleywine possesses the subtlety of flavor that only comes from a barrel that’s gone through many seasons of ritual care. The intricacies of the previous barrel denizens – oak, charcoal, hints of tobacco and vanilla, and that signature bourbon heat – are all present in this beer. Hearty and complex, Bourbon County Brand Barleywine is a titan and a timeline; a bold, flavorful journey through the craft of barrel aging.

Sample during Blarney Wine Festival 2022 on 03/12/2022. The beer is dark ruddy brown color with a medium light tan head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Small patches of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of bourbon, malt, vanilla, dark fruit and hops. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, caramel malt, vanilla, plum and earthy hops. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Great Barley Wine all around.
