The Story
Barrel Bomb is a masterfully crafted blend using a selection of fruit from the Paso Robles AVA in California. One of the premier spots of California for Bordeaux varietals, this Cabernet features a small amount of Malbec and Petit Verdot that accents deep, ripe fruit flavors, and allows for great balance of the flavors of the bourbon oak aging.

About Barrel Bomb
Brand Story
Barrel Bomb explores the fascinating relationship between two of North America’s greatest beverage traditions: Kentucky Bourbon and fine California wine. The synergies between fire, oak spice, sunlight, and terroir center Barrel Bomb’s work. With the goal of creating beverages bolder and more flavorful than their individual components; this distinct collection of both bourbons and red wine exists to inform each other. Kentucky Bourbon from one of the state’s top distilleries (sorry, we have to keep exactly where a secret) is aged for three years in charred new American oak. To finish the spirit, we transfer into our very own Barrel Bomb Red Blend and Cabernet Sauvignon barrels to infuse our Bourbon with the complex nuances of fine California red wine.
