We arranged a visit to their location in Louisville, where we spent some quality time with the Barrell team that includes company Founder Joe Beatrice, Chief of Distillery Operations\/Chief Whiskey Scientist Tripp Stimson, and Blender\/Manager of Blending Operations Nic Christiansen. For the first time in quite a while, all three of us Breaking Bourbon Co-Founders were in Kentucky at the same time, and we were joined by long-time friend Ryan Cecil, Co-Founder of \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/bourbonpursuit.com\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/bourbonpursuit.com\/\"\u003eBourbon Pursuit\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/pursuitspirits.com\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/pursuitspirits.com\/\"\u003ePursuit Spirits\u003c\/a\u003e.

The preeminent blender in the bourbon business, the Barrell Craft Spirits team is on top of their game when it comes to blending. We ultimately decided on a 114.38 proof blend of 55% 5 year, 30% 7 year, 10% 10 year, and 5% 17 year bourbons originating from three different states. Balanced, well-rounded, and plenty of character.
