While Parabola is historically aged for one year in premium bourbon barrels, we transferred this edition to a separate lot of wheat whiskey barrels at the 12-month mark for an additional 12 months of aging for a total of 24 months of barrel aging. Eric illuminates:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The inspiration came from one of my favorite whiskey’s – Weller 12. It’s a wheated bourbon which has recently been difficult to find.  Just over a year ago I was able to secure some of these barrels and I wanted to do something special. I had a selection of Parabola barrels that were tasting phenomenal at the one-year mark but thought could go even further. And that’s where double barrel came to be – we emptied Parabola out of eight-year Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels and moved it into these 12-year Weller wheated bourbon barrels.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParabola is initially brewed to be around 11.5% – and this year it came out of the barrels at 13.6%.  After this second fresh set of barrels, the ABV climbed even further to 15.5%. “Still, it’s such a smooth, almost dangerous beer,” Eric says. “That additional barrel \u0026amp; extra time creates this beautiful, creamy mouthfeel with just a touch of mild oxidation which smooths out the high ABV character. There’s also an added dimension of chocolate fudge and cereal grain-goodness.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 15.5%,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/webstore.firestonebeer.com\/collections\/vintage-series\/products\/2021-double-barrel-parabola\"\u003eDouble Barrel Parabola\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis also the highest ABV beer that Firestone Walker has ever released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We never want to get complacent with anything.
