Description:
Here’s yet another unique release from the team at Barrell Craft Spirits named after founder, Joe Beatrice’s mother, Armida. The expression is a blend of three Straight Bourbon Whiskeys finished separately in Pear Brandy, Jamaican Rum, and Sicilian Amaro Casks. Armida is a journey for the palate: from a northern orchard to an ancient island, it’s an immensely complex and satisfying whiskey that will not disappoint.

Barrell Craft Spirits comments;
“The ripe, floral pear notes provide a soft entrance into a whiskey that is adorned with hints of spice and arid citrus derived from the Amaro casks (and also the toasty bourbon itself). This mélange of flavour is framed by the tropical sweetness found in rum finished whiskeys.

While constructing the blend for this whiskey, Joe (master blender) was taken by how nostalgic some of the combinations of flavours were. Joe’s mother’s family had a farm in the northeast where he would often spend time in the summer and autumn. These brisk, orchard fruit memories inspired many of the first test blends and so, Joe named the project after his mother’s formal name, Armida!”
