Dessert in a Glass? Nulu Maple Brûlée Single Barrel

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.   Chapters 00:00:14 – Fresh bottle pop to kick things off 00:02:19 – Introducing Nulu Maple Brûlée Single Barrel (KBF pick) 00:04:19 – How maple brûlée finishing works (barrel & syrup process) 00:06:21 – What “brûléeing” a barrel really means 00:07:23 – Dessert-like notes: sticky date, caramel, chocolate 00:08:20 – Regrets from last year’s KBF and why we grabbed this bottle early 00:09:30 – Tasting notes, mouthfeel & why it’s a festival favourite
