Barrell Bourbon Batch 026

Toasted marshmallow and vanilla fill out the top notes of this bourbon. Hints of leather and smoke round out the mid notes, followed by a slight burn from the high proof. The sweetness in the beginning really rounds out the flavor and smooths the alcohol sting. Great expression.

Long legs in the glass. Sweet brown sugar nose, molasses and a slight spice and pepper. Does not bring the alcohol you might expect at this proof. Very sweet on the palate, caramel and brown sugar with a hint of almond. Flavor is concentrated on the middle of the tongue. Spice and heat come with the finish and fades nicely with the heat lingering in your chest. Unique and very nice. Follow up, the more I drink this, the more I like it. This whiskey is borderline exceptional. Finishing my second bottle of this, my opinion hasn't changed. This is easily the best Barrell batch I've had, although I have to admit I'm not a long time drinker of Barrell products.
