Barrell Bourbon Batch 31 is a cask strength bourbon bottled at 55.6% ABV, with a stated age of 6 years. For a novice drinker, that means a full-flavoured whiskey presented at a higher bottling strength than usual, without dilution before bottling.
As a bourbon, it is expected to show a character built around sweetness from corn alongside oak influence from new charred oak barrels. The elevated strength is likely to make it feel richer and more intense, and many drinkers may prefer to sip it slowly or add a little water to explore it.
