Selección Barbieri is a series of releases that expresses the creativity, heart, and ongoing pursuit of discovery by Maestro Destilador Jonathan Barbieri. As a painter eventually turned distiller, his inspiring path will continue to produce art in the form of whiskies with varying mashbills and diverse flavor profiles. These will be very small batches and single barrels, coming available whenever the maker and the whiskey agree that the time is right.
