Barrell Bourbon Batch 031

A swirl shows nice legs in the glass. The nose presents Tennessee mineral but also nutmeg , prunes, and tobacco. Palate presents sweet and spicy with a touch of artificusl grape. I suspect this has a lot of Tennessee whiskey in it, which I'm not usually a fan of, but this is blenede nicely and has nice pit fruit and fall spice depth. The finish is nice offering sweet chocolate and pepper. It is slightly astringent, however. A large ice cube, added nicely, rounding off some of the harsher notes and bringing sweetness, chocolate, and a touchnof pit fruit forward. Like the finish lengthened, and the pepper tempered. The astringency is gone. Overall, a very nice whiskey.

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