Battle Point French Oak – Bottled In Bond Whiskey
Battle Point French Oak – Bottled In Bond Whiskey
2X distilled Battle Point eschews standard maturation in American oak and opts for extended aging in Quercus robur, or French oak. These 59-gallon barrels are custom made for Bainbridge with a No. 3+ char and toasted heads, and the whiskey ages 7-8 years before being bottled un-chill filtered and at Bottled-In-Bond 100 Proof.
Intense cinnamon and baking spice, fresh cut cedar and brandied cherries on the nose, dark chocolate, rose water, red fruits at the palate, finishing with cooling eucalyptus and menthol, warm spice.

Bainbridge has crafted a very unique and quite delicious whiskey in the Battle Point French Oak BIB. I am a huge fan of whiskies aged/finished in French Oak barrels and this is one of the best I've enjoyed. Complex aromas and palate... sweet but not overly so... a most enjoyable sipper!
We have loved Bainbridge Organic Distillers for many years, particularly the whiskeys and fir gin. Excited to be able to ship as presents now across the US. I do hope you work the kinks out with the third party shippers. The shipping was a bit fuzzy as to who was actually shipping.
An old friend who was a whiskey aficionado died recently... he used to tell me about how great Bainbridge Distillers was... I decided to order this as a nod to his guidance. He was So Right... so smooth, vanilla, butterscotch, a desert reminiscent of liquor-infused holiday fruits. My only complaint is that my friend isn't here to share it with me.
Very smooth! Great finish!
