This limited release captures the concentrated character of one exceptional barrel, with only 200 bottles available from Batch 01.\n\nFrom the heart of Kentucky's bourbon country, Whiskey Thief Distilling Company crafts spirits that honor traditional methods while embracing innovation. Located in Frankfort, where limestone-filtered water and Kentucky's climate create ideal aging conditions, each BANTA single barrel tells the story of five years spent developing in charred American oak. The morning mist rising from the Kentucky River carries whispers of vanilla and spice from the aging warehouses, where time transforms grain into liquid gold.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, toasted oak, vanilla bean, baking spices, dried orange peel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold honey sweetness, charred oak, cinnamon bark, dark chocolate, roasted nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long with warm spice, leather, tobacco leaf, lingering oak tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53.0% (106 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhiskey Thief Distilling Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Selection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBatch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBatch 01, Bottle 1\/200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 106 proof delivers full flavor while remaining approachable for contemplative evening pours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon Collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited single barrel release with only 200 bottles adds exclusivity to any collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Tastings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Showcases how individual barrels create unique flavor profiles within the same distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e The numbered bottle and single barrel selection make it perfect for celebrating milestones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does BANTA Single Barrel taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBANTA Single Barrel delivers bold bourbon flavors with rich caramel and honey sweetness balanced by charred oak and warm spices.
