Barrell Bourbon Batch 031

Sweet, but just short if cloying. Dates amdvthen a nice flourish of lingering heat

A sweet and easy sipper, feels lightly viscous with confectioners sugar, caramel, hints of fruit and scads of vanilla, a little spice pops in mid palate and rides out the surprisingly long finish to the slightly bitter end. Not at all what I expected from Barrell, but I like it a lot none the less.

Lot of spice, which isn’t surprising given the proof. It does seem to drink a bit like a rye to me. Overall it’s decent but didn’t blow me away. Given some other reviews will come back to this one after it breathes a little more. Similar to others, neck pour was very hot and spicy. Went back after to re-rate and had a very different experience. It still drinks like a rye, but with a small cube has a butterscotch and desert flavor with a mich smoother and sweet profile. The bit of kick is still there like a higher rye but the sweetness balances it out greatly. Closest thing I can think of is like sucking on a spicy worthers. Changed from 3.0 to 4.00.
