Barrell Bourbon Armida

Product Description

Barrell Bourbon Armida

Discover Armida, a unique blend of three straight bourbon whiskeys finished in pear brandy, Jamaican rum, and Sicilian amaro casks.

Ever wondered what autumn tastes like? Armida is not just a whiskey; it's a celebration of fall, captured in a bottle, inspired by the meticulous art of pear ripening. Like the perfect moment when a pear reaches its peak, Armida is a blend of timing, care, and instinct.

Crafted with the dedication of great orchardists, Armida is a harmonious blend of three straight bourbon whiskeys, each finished in a different cask: pear brandy, Jamaican rum, and Sicilian amaro. This unique combination brings a burst of ripe floral notes from the pear brandy, enveloping your palate with tropical sweetness, intermingled with hints of dried citrus and spice.

TASTING NOTES

Appearance
Bright gold with a pale rim.

Nose
Opens with creamy and sweet notes of carrot cake, dulce de leche, and chestnut honey. The pear brandy’s influence inflects the core aroma, with poached pear leading blackberry and dried lime peel. Shimmering at the edges are countless herbs and dusty spices. Notes familiar to Sicilian amari, such as fennel seed, aniseed, nutmeg, and cacao are there. As Sicily was once part of the Duchy of Savoy licorice, wormwood and chamomile are encountered here, in Savoy’s tradition of genepy and absinthe.

Palate
Lush sweetness is kept in check by some sandy tannin and high strength. Here, the rum takes center stage, with blackstrap molasses, sambuca, and olive brine arriving first. The rich dark character builds with date and chipotle leading into pipe tobacco and walnut. The amaro is never far behind, exhibiting licorice root, gentian, green cardamom and kola nut.

Finish
Green almond enriches an otherwise dry finish of black tea and slate.
