The Maple Brûlée programme is the clearest example. The barrels used here previously held maple syrup, and rather than filling them straight away, Nulu re toasts them first. That toasting caramelises the maple sugars soaked into the wood, and the whiskey is then laid into those barrels to draw the caramelised sugar back out. Nothing is added to the liquid. It remains Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a protected designation that forbids additives, and the dessert character comes entirely from the wood. This particular bottle is a single barrel, and the numbers on it are worth reading properly. Barrel LX9676 spent eight years maturing before a six month finish in maple brûlée wood, and it came out at 65.6 percent alcohol by volume, or 131.2 proof, considerably older and stronger than most releases in this series. The pick carries the name Nutty Nilla Wafer, which tells you where the barrel landed: toasted nut and vanilla wafer over the maple sweetness rather than pure syrup. Expect buttery maple, brown sugar and caramelised sugar on the nose, then a rich and creamy palate of maple, baking spice and toasted oak, with the proof carrying real intensity behind it. Long, warming and decadent through the finish. One barrel, bottled once, never repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65.6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNulu Whiskey Co., Prohibition Craft Spirits, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel, Maple Brûlée Barrel Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Pick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\"Nutty Nilla Wafer\" Single Barrel Select\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLX9676\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaple brûlée barrels, 6 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish Detail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEx maple syrup barrels, re toasted to caramelise residual sugars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiltration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon chill filtered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel strength, undiluted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber with golden highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buttery maple and brown sugar lead, with caramelised sugar, vanilla and toasted oak behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and creamy with a full mouthfeel.
