Foundation is the accessible core of that philosophy: balanced sweetness, spice, and smoothness at a steady 100 proof, designed to work neat, over ice, or as the base of a cocktail. The rye-forward mash bill gives it backbone without overwhelming the corn sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, and orchard fruit with light rye spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced corn sweetness, baking spice, and oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and warming with lingering vanilla and spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrell Craft Spirits, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Straight Bourbon — Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSources:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDerived mash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73% corn, 23% rye, 4% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAges:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9 years across component barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% (100 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow is Foundation different from the numbered Barrell batches?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoundation is bottled at a consistent 100 proof as a steady core expression, while the numbered batches are cask-strength one-time blends that vary in proof and character batch to batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow should it be served?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eVersatile — neat, over ice, or as the base of a cocktail like an Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How is Foundation different from the numbered Barrell batches?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Foundation is bottled at a consistent 100 proof as a steady core expression, while the numbered batches are cask-strength one-time blends that vary in proof and character batch to batch.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should it be served?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Versatile — neat, over ice, or as the base of a cocktail like an Old Fashioned.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Barrell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900671365191,"sku":"barrell-bourbon-foundation-5-year-old","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/barrell-bourbon-foundation-5-year-old-214_840839e6-d8ce-4353-934f-fabcf95ea154.webp?v=1782409025","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/barrell-bourbon-foundation-5-year-old","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
