In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we open a fresh bottle of Nulu Maple Brûlée Single Barrel, a Kentucky Bourbon Festival pick that delivers rich, dessert-like flavour in every sip.

We talk through how the maple brûlée process works, the unique way barrels are treated, and why this whiskey has a sticky mouthfeel and dessert-style notes like sticky date pudding, butterscotch, and dark chocolate.

We also share the story of why we regretted not picking up a bottle last year — and why this year, we made sure to grab one early.

This is one of the richest and most unique bourbons we’ve tried, and a perfect example of what makes KBF single barrel picks so exciting.
