A New Chapter in Arkansas Barrel Picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In late 2024, Arkansas whiskey fans were treated to something special \u2014 the first private barrel pick<\/strong> from a local whiskey community in partnership with CrossRoads Wine & Spirits<\/strong> and Cat\u2019s Eye Distillery<\/strong>. This release marked a milestone moment, introducing Obtainium Straight Bourbon Whiskey<\/strong>, a bold, full-flavored expression drawn from barrels distilled by TN Distilling Company<\/strong> and bottled by Cat\u2019s Eye Distillery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Obtainium brand, known for its high-proof, single-barrel releases, has earned a cult following among enthusiasts who appreciate unfiltered whiskey in its purest form. This Arkansas-exclusive release continues that tradition, offering drinkers an authentic cask-strength bourbon experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Whiskey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This 7-year-old straight bourbon<\/strong> comes in at a hefty 123.4 proof<\/strong>, delivering the full intensity of the barrel while maintaining an elegant balance of sweetness and spice.
Expect aromas of toasted oak, vanilla, and caramel<\/strong>, followed by rich layers of butterscotch, baking spice, and dark fruit<\/strong> on the palate. The finish lingers long and warm, showcasing the bourbon\u2019s depth and maturity without overwhelming heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many Obtainium releases lean toward the experimental, this one is firmly rooted in the traditional bourbon profile \u2014 sweet corn richness, oak-driven character, and a pleasant, peppery warmth that rewards slow sipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
