Barrel 51 was created because men are growing tired of drinking the saccharine sweet lolly-water bourbon and colas that are in the market. We combine quality Kentucky bourbon with a less sweet dry cola that actually lets you enjoy the bourbon taste, rather than hiding it. Bottom line, Barrel 51 is for men who like the taste of bourbon. Bourbon make by distilling 51% American corn and rye with spring water straight out of the Kentucky Mountains. Teamed up with a dry cola to make it less sweet, more bourbon that’s actually fit for us Kiwi blokes to drink.
