Forbidden Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Forbidden Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel No. 56097, is a bold, carefully crafted expression that rewards slow sipping and close attention. Developed by Marianne Eaves, Kentucky’s first female Master Distiller since Prohibition, this premium wheated bourbon reflects a deliberate low-and-slow approach that coaxes out deeper flavor and a richer, more layered character. At 58.0% ABV, it delivers intensity without harshness, leaning velvety and full-bodied instead of overly spicy. In the glass, it shows a deep burnished copper hue with oily, slow-moving legs, hinting at the weight and concentration to come. For bourbon drinkers who value craftsmanship, individuality, and a more culinary-driven profile, Barrel No. 56097 offers a distinctive pour with presence, structure, and lasting depth.
