Tastes

This just leap-frogged Batch 021 as my favorite Barrell Bourbon, and it's in my top 10 overall. I will admit I am predisposed to wheated bourbons. I don't have a palette that picks up whisps or sousants. I taste in shapes, and this is like getting hit by the broad side of a triangle, with a bomb of peanut brittle, backed up by butterscotch and caramel, trailed by vanilla, then decreasing amounts of fruity and flowery, finishing with a small (but fighting above its weight class) amount of spice. I've now gathered up 6 bottles of this nectar. I really hope people keep sleeping on Barrell and can't wait to see what's next.
