I was reading about Barrell Craft Spirits releasing a 22-year-old whiskey they’re calling Sweet Peat. It’s a limited run—2,940 bottles, no more.
They aged it in bourbon, rum, and port casks, then finished it in French oak. The flavor profile leans into dried fruit, smoke, honey, and something they call 'sweet earth.'
It’s bottled at cask strength—116.2 proof—and priced at $1,299.99. I’ve held bottles older than that. Some of them even remembered my name.
