Tastes

Picture a musty dusty Sauna where the walls are lined with oak not cedar, there is a bunch of sweaty truckers and hockey players who went into sauna without showering before, while in there they spilled a bottle of Balcones Bourbon on to the stove and the room filled with Bourbon steam mixed with the hot sweaty oak B.O. aromas. I am not Texan enough to drink this.

The BHO2 is like grape compote, a nosefull of different otter pops at once. Oddly a hit of warm mountain dew aromas. Flavor Wise Cool moist mossy earthiness after a good rain more sweet flowers. With a oily finish that slides down your throat so thick you can trace the alcohol heat from your tongue to your gut. Which is a new sensation for me.

Gosh I love Barrell! Batch 26 is like no bourbon I have tasted. Sweet floral notes almost akin to plumeria and blooming jasmine. With a rich buttery napa chardonnay. Oily viscous. Lingers and hangs on. With a rich a dessert wine profile of botrytis grapes which has this really earthy musty note. Like a candy cap mushroom.
