Ranking My Favorite Barrell Craft Spirits Whiskeys. The Best Barrell Bourbons and Whiskeys

It is no secret to those who know me that I am a huge Barrell Craft Spirits whiskey fan. I focus so much on their products in various social network forums that people think I work for them or that I am a paid Barrell influencer. Nothing could be further from the truth. I just love their products and believe Barrell Craft Spirits are the best blenders and finishers in the industry.

As a bourbon enthusiast, I try to purchase as many of their offerings as my wallet allows. Barrell produces scores of whiskeys, so I can't keep up with their releases, but I try. Of the twelve products produced by Barrell Craft Spirits that I have tried to date, there has been only one that I did not like, and it is the last one on my rankings below. Unfortunately, I have not tried many of the bourbon batches, so I don't have a good handle on how to rank them.

These rankings will change based on the week or month I revisit the various whiskies. Also, they are based on my taste preferences and not how I would rate them from an independent tasting experience perspective. For instance, my review of Barrell Seagrass gives it a higher rating than Barrell Dovetail. However, Dovetail is my current Barrell favorite. I don't know if that makes much sense. Still, I try to be as objective as possible with my reviews without regard to personal preference.

Anyway, here are my personal Barrell Craft Spirit favorites.
