Branch & Barrel’s Rare Hungarian Oak and Cherry Port Barrel-Aged Bourbons Return This Black Friday

Two of Branch & Barrel Distilling’s most sought-after bourbons are making a rare return on Black Friday! Get your hands on Füszerek Hungarian Oak Bourbon and Cherry Port Barrel-Aged Bourbon (a collaboration with Purgatory Wine Cellars) on Nov. 27.

Füszerek Hungarian Oak Bourbon begins with five years of aging in American white oak before additional maturation in a barrel seasoned with maple, vanilla and cinnamon, followed by a final aging period with pure Hungarian oak. This unique process balances the sweetness of Spiced Maple Bourbon with rich winter baking spices, woody character and complex notes of molasses and chai.

Also returning for Black Friday is Cherry Port Barrel-Aged Bourbon, a collaboration with Purgatory Wine Cellars of Parker, Colo. Branch & Barrel's flagship bourbon spends 15 months finishing in a Purgatory wine barrel previously used to mature cherry port for 17 months. The result is a bold, richly layered whiskey with dark fruit flavors, dessert-wine richness and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel.

"Füszerek is our most premium and popular release to date. We've had people travel from across Colorado to buy it by the case," said Mitchell Nester, Branch & Barrel's Master Blender. "Our Cherry Port Bourbon was another fan favorite, with a bold, rich flavor reminiscent of a chocolate cherry cordial. Both are truly unique whiskeys, and we're excited to bring them back for the holidays."

Experience the comfort and joy of Branch & Barrel this holiday season! On Black Friday, visit the Tasting Room in Centennial for limited release bottles of Füszerek Hungarian Oak Bourbon and Cherry Port Barrel-Aged Bourbon, priced at $100 and $80, respectively. On Nov. 27th only, both bottles will be available for $20 off. These rare holiday releases are expected to sell out, so don’t wait.
