Here, two component streams are matured independently before blending: the Cabernet Sauvignon barrels bring firm tannin, dark fruit, and savory warmth, while the Sauternes barrels add honeyed sweetness and a rounder texture. Bottled at full cask strength, it keeps its natural weight, heat, and layered complexity — whiskey-forward, with the wine casks adding structure and richness rather than dominating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark berries, honeyed stone fruit, oak spice, and soft wine-kissed sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackberry, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, baking spice, and a wave of wine-cask depth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and measured with lingering tannin, sweetness, and a building spice glow\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 Cask Strength Blended Whiskey — Black Label Series\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSources:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky (18 yr) \u0026amp; Canada (23–25 yr)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabernet Sauvignon \u0026amp; Sauternes barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62.62% (125.24 Proof) — cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this more wine-forward or whiskey-forward?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays whiskey-forward, but the Cabernet and Sauternes finishes add clear layers — dark fruit and tannin from Cabernet, honeyed richness from Sauternes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Black Label Series?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarrell's program for extremely limited, high-age blends built around rare component whiskies and experimental finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is this more wine-forward or whiskey-forward?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It stays whiskey-forward, but the Cabernet and Sauternes finishes add clear layers — dark fruit and tannin from Cabernet, honeyed richness from Sauternes.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the Black Label Series?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Barrell's program for extremely limited, high-age blends built around rare component whiskies and experimental finishing.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Barrell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903597318215,"sku":"850053456749","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/BarrellWhiskey18YearCabernetSauvignon_SauternesBarrels750mL.webp?v=1782400385","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/barrell-whiskey-18-year-cabernet-sauvignon-sauternes-barrels-750ml","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
