Casey Jones Barrel Cut Double Barrel

Casey Jones Barrel Cut Double Barrel is a small-batch Kentucky craft spirit from Casey Jones Distillery in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, created by Master Distiller Arlon Casey Jones. It is distilled from the distillery's original mash bill of 50% corn and 50% cane, aged first in new oak and then finished in used bourbon barrels, for up to four years in total. Bottled at cask strength, so the proof varies from batch to batch; this bottling is 53.85% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. The distillery calls it dessert in a bottle: dark fruit and cocoa on the nose, a sweet body with dark cherry, and a chocolate finish.

Tasting Notes: Dark fruit, cocoa, dark cherry and chocolate.

Nose: Luscious dark fruit and cocoa.

Palate: Sweet, with distinct dark cherry.

Finish: Chocolate.

Serve: Neat or with a few drops of water.
