All you savvy barrel hunters already know what happened to Kentucky’s single barrel programs over the last two years, with COVID shuttering bars and restaurants. A number of accounts across America committed to casks pre-COVID, then found themselves unable to handle the commitment due to the pandemic.
Every now and again, a supplier will reach out to an account like Mission and offer us the cask for a hot price if we can handle the load. A delicious cask strength barrel of wheated Maker’s Mark Bourbon for $49.99? Of course we will! Especially when it tastes as good as this one. Lots of sweet oak from front to back, dark mocha across the middle, and plenty of pop.
For the price, it’s a no-brainer.
