To help celebrate the release of 2022 Atrial Rubicite, we're also releasing a portion of 2021 Atrial Rubicite that was aged in Balcones Distilling Bourbon barrels!
We took some of last year's World Beer Cup Gold Medal-winning Atrial Rubicite and racked it into Balcones Distilling Bourbon barrels and aged it for a year. We then blended and naturally conditioned. The 2021 Atrial Rubicite must have absorbed residual bourbon in the barrels, because the alcohol by volume about doubled during the year of aging (10.9% abv).
We hope you enjoy 2022 Balcones Distilling Bourbon Barrel-Aged Atrial Rubicite! It's the first specialty barrel-aged Atrial Rubicite we've released since Sherry-Barrel Atrial Rubcitie several years ago. Cheers!

Bottle pours out ruby red topped with a fizzy head. Nose is great big jammy berries sour funky barrel notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet jammy berries tart funky sour notes and a nice barrel note. Very good

500ml bottle at share. Dark brown pour, flat. Tart, fruity aroma, raspberries. Taste is very tart raspberries before the bourbon kicks in, whiskey, woody, heat. Tartness remains, along with a boozy burn.
