Barrell Bourbon Batch 027

Part of a Barrell virtual tasting event that provided free 2 oz samples for NCWH Nose - Cereal grain, brown sugar, corn dust, cinnamon, allspice, medium rye and ethanol. Palate - Light brown sugar, sweet corn, toasted marshmallow, peanut brittle. Finish is medium-long with sweet oak, moderate ethanol, pleasant rye spice and sugars. It isn't overly tannic or dry for the proof and minimum age blended.

Nose: Starts out with a strong Dickel 12 mineral note, after a few minutes in the glass it becomes quite sweet and fruity with orange and cherry, there’s also rose hips and musty corn. Palate: Sweet and a little buttery with sharp fruitiness, mineral bitterness and heat. Finish: Long with mineral and fruity notes.

Nose: honey, hay, apple, brown sugar, caramel, cinnamon, oak, vanilla, quite heady, a spicy apple oie baked in a barn Taste: flavors carry through from the nose with mixed nuts, pastry, plenty of sugar balanced by wood and leather Finish: long, warm and spicy but mellowed with fruit and a trace of salt

First Barrell product I have been able to try. Thanks Steve for letting me have the opportunity to try this one. Really impressed with this one. Nose is great on this one. You can taste the blend of the older and younger barrels in this blend. Some sweet vanilla, cherry and leather on the finish.

This is a great - well above average. I won’t be grabbing another bottle - too many other batches to try - but I will throughly enjoy the one I have. Batch 7 @ 124.7 proof

Nose - Honey, roasted peanuts Taste - Nutty, very light sweet nuts closer to caramel than honey, cinnamon, rye spices. Expecting more flavor from a cask strength.
