Barrell Bourbon Batch 034

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, butterscotch and graham crackers. A hint of baking spice. Palate: Cinnamon and baking spices. Finish: Long and very warm. Splash: Some of the caramel and butterscotch return. Cinnamon is reduced. Overall: 7.5/10 - This will probably be good on the rocks, but doesn't quite have the complexity to be great.

Really like this brand. Smokier than the Vantage. Bit spicier but good flavor. Would get again.

Orange blossom, caramel, choclate, salt. Complex, spicy, bright, surprising. Footnote: the expert reviews on here routinely sleep on Barrell bottles. Curious what’s up with that. For example, Four Roses Small Batch scores higher (92) than this (91) which is silly.
