Size: 700ML
Proof: 122 (61%ABV)
Origin: United States
Distillery: Calico House
A single barrel straight bourbon finished or fully matured in virgin French oak, emphasizing a more aggressive wood influence than traditional American oak maturation. The use of new French oak brings denser tannins, spice intensity, and a slightly drier structure, layering over the bourbon’s base caramel and grain sweetness. Each barrel is bottled individually, resulting in variation in proof and depth.
Calico House ‘Virgin French Oak’ Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, vanilla, and subtle dried fruit.
Palate: Full and structured — toffee, brown sugar, and vanilla upfront, followed by clove, cinnamon, cocoa, and firm oak tannin.
Finish: Long and dry with lingering spice, charred oak, and a slightly peppery, woody fade.
Distillery Information
Calico House focuses on small-batch and single barrel bourbon expressions with experimental cask selection. The use of virgin French oak is less common in American whiskey production, as it imparts stronger tannic structure and a more spice-forward profile compared to traditional American oak. This style results in a bourbon that feels more assertive and wood-driven, often appealing to drinkers who prefer heavier oak influence. As a single barrel release, each bottling reflects the individual character of its maturation environment, making every batch slightly distinct in intensity and balance.
