NULU Maple Brulee Finish "9th Floor" Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A decadent, maple-finished pair of single barrels from NULU Whiskey Co., crafted in Louisville and sourced from MGP in Lawrenceburg. Each barrel matured long and slow, then spent 7 months in maple brûlée casks for layered sweetness without syrupy weight. Non-chill filtered and bottled exclusively for Skurnik Wines & Spirits.

Why they stand out

Maple brûlée finish: 7 months in barrels previously used to age maple syrup, then toasted to caramelize residual sugars.
Serious age, singular barrels:
• B1054 — 9 years, 115 proof (57.5% ABV)
• B1243 — 8 years, 116.2 proof (58.1% ABV)
Elevated oak program: Long initial maturation at MGP, then re-barreled by NULU into char #4 new American oak with heavy toast from Speyside Cooperage for additional Louisville aging.
Recoopered with care: Maple brûlée casks toasted and recoopered by Tonnellerie Moreau in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge, Quebec.
Non-chill filtered: Full body, rich texture, maximal flavor.

Tasting notes

Nose: Burnt sugar, warm maple, praline, caramel brittle; maple-forward yet never cloying.
Palate: Sweet and oily with fig jam, caramelized sugars, and balanced oak; the bourbon core stays vivid beneath the finish.
Finish: Structured tannin with a rye-spice lift—cinnamon and clove—lingering maple glaze and toasted oak.
