This allows the focus to be on building multilayered and exciting blends instead of the individual components used to create each blend. Jonathan creates several blends based off his notes and ratings of their barrel inventory, then all blends are run through several rounds of blind tastings with blends being adjusted one barrel at a time by taste (Jonathan and Jennifer do all the blind tastings) until a favorite is decided for bottling. This is The Spirit Of Blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK.LUKE Whiskey Company owner and master blender Jonathan Maisano made his first single barrel trip to Kentucky in the summer of 2014. Since then, he has tasted over 1,600 barrels and selected more than 400 to be deemed as Maisano Hand Select Single Barrels for retail. Jonathan is also a first level certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers. He uses this extensive sensory training when evaluating aroma and flavor profiles in whiskey barrels as there are many similar traits in both wine and whiskey when searching for nuances. In 2024 Jonathan was named the Blender of the Year from the Barleycorn Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kluke Whiskey Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55816261828776,"sku":"KLU-KLUBARSTR-05QN","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1829\/2275\/files\/b1f9865a-8f7d-4bb8-a856-78134fcbeabe.webp?v=1785343953","url":"https:\/\/seelbachs.com\/products\/k-luke-barrel-strength-bourbon-batch-16","provider":"Seelbach's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
