Nashville Barrel Company (NBC) is highly acclaimed for its cask-strength, single barrel, and small-batch Straight Rye Whiskeys. Sourced primarily from Indiana (MGP) and aged/bottled in Tennessee, their ryes are celebrated for their rich, non-chill filtered profiles and usually clock in around 110–126 proof. This specific bottle is aged six years and has a proof of 131.90.

Nashville Barrel Company’s first single barrel rye was released in February of 2020, quickly earning the brand a fervent following due to word of mouth, internet buzz, and notable accolades from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and spirits writer and educator Fred Minnick, among others.

Sourcing spirits from MGP and other undisclosed distilleries, Nashville Barrel Company ages, blends, and bottles in Nashville and has never released a blend or single barrel under five years old, operating under the belief that consumers can get young whisky anywhere, but they can’t get good whiskey everywhere. The brand’s meteoric rise has necessitated the expansion of its aging and tasting facilities, and the community-driven operation has raised over three million dollars for various research projects including the F Cancer Foundation, American Heart Association, American Cancer Association, and military veteran organizations such as Boys in Blue.
