Product Description

As a marketing and tech entrepreneur, Joe Beatrice knew how to build a business from the ground up. As a home brewer, he knew how to build upon the layers of flavor that result in the perfect bourbon. So it came as no surprise when - in 2013 - he created the ultimate mash-up, combining his branding skills with his blending skills to create exceptional cask whiskey. Almost a decade later, Barrell Craft Spirits is renowned for its cask-strength small-batch and single-barrel releases, picking up multiple awards from the world’s most prestigious spirits competitions.

Armida began as an experiment, trying to make a dream whiskey come to fruition: What flavors and aromas were they most excited to find in bourbon? Where in the world of spirits do those flavors exist? Could they finish and blend whiskeys to tease the subtle flavors from the edges of perception into the forefront? More than a year later they found themselves with a whiskey with subtle hints of spice and orchard fruit they chase in bourbons amplified into balance and power never found before.

Armida is a blend of three Straight Bourbon Whiskeys finished separately in Pear Brandy, Jamaican Rum, and Sicilian Amaro Casks. 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 flavor is framed by the tropical sweetness found in rum finished whiskeys. Armida is a journey for the palate: from a brisk northern orchard to an ancient island, it ends up exactly where intended, with an immensely complex and satisfying whiskey.

While constructing the blend for this whiskey, Joe was taken by how nostalgic some of the combinations of flavors 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.
