Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Seagrass Rye Whiskey

This complex and vibrant Canadian rye whiskey is a masterpiece of cask finishing, balancing classic whiskey depth with tropical brightness. The influence of Malmsey Madeira, rye spice, and exotic fruit notes creates a dynamic, evolving sip that shifts from warm baking spices to tropical lushness. 🌾🔥🥃

Flavor Profile:
🌅 Appearance: Rose gold with flashes of sunflower yellow – an eye-catching glow.
👃 Nose: A foundation of classic Canadian rye—white flowers, toasted grains, and honey. As it evolves, expect layers of roasted pineapple, apricot, toasted hazelnut, and orange blossom. Madeira casks add nutty, raisin-like richness, while a hint of wild-grassy freshness keeps it lively.
👅 Palate: A journey through flavors—starting with Meyer lemon and clover honey, shifting to fresh basil and ripe pineapple, and finishing with deep rye complexity. Cask strength delivers black pepper heat, but it’s balanced by Madeira’s natural acidity and rich tropical notes.
🔥 Finish: A final wave of pink peppercorn, oregano, and sun-dried rosemary—rye spice tempered by apricot sweetness and nutmeg. As the flavors fade, lemon, honey, and cracked black pepper linger.
