Barrell Bourbon Batch 015

Nose: candied nuts, peppercorn, oak Palate: rich, baking spices, hints of gingerbread and candy apple Finish: medium warmth but not too hot, very balanced Lovers of Elmer T Lee, Very Old Barton, Russell’s Reserve or Old Grandad might enjoy this a lot. A few drops of water smooths over the hotter rye bits but leaves a lot of the rest intact.

Lots of rye spice and ginger, unusual and delicious

Nose: A hint of maple syrup

Nose: earthy (the malted barley) for a bourbon but not a bad thing. Subtle popcorn notes. Some oak in there. Palate: moderately rich, yet on the lighter side in the mouthfeel (low oil) spicier than the nose. Citrus and rye. Finish: medium, more rye and slight cola
