Barrell Bourbon Batch 005

Smooth finish for such high of proof. Taste of burn sugar, vanilla, caramel. Long lingering after taste of cinnamon

Great nose, this takes me back. To what, I'm not sure. But it definitely takes me back. Nuts, fruit, and dough on the nose. It's like a boozy peanut butter and jelly sandwich. An earthy, truffle note as well. On the palate, prickly spice up front, then the nose carries over - honey roasted peanuts, tart fruit, mushrooms. This must be Dickel. Nice, cascading warmth going down. Cacao nibs remain, and this lingers for a while. It feels thick and oily, quite viscous, like swallowing peanut butter. I'm not saying this is an easy sipper by any means, but it's way smoother than you'd expect for the proof. Another winner in the Barrell line. 8/6/18

Definitely taste the high alcohol content. I usually don’t mind but it is prevalent. A little more flavor would be a more balanced bourbon. It is good but not as good as I expected.
