Barrell Bourbon Batch 035

Caramel and baking spices on the nose, finish is pretty long, lacks complexity

Aroma - okay. My immediate reaction is “this is tremendous and complex”. Probably the best smelling Barrell Bourbon I’ve had to date. Massive caramel and vanilla notes. Tons of deep oak character. Also getting a nice balance of red fruits (strawberries and raspberries) blended with dark fruits (plums come to mind). There is a cake presence here as well. Like most BCS products, every time you come back to the glass, a new note pops up. It’s just awesome Taste - Follows the nose 100%. Insane complexliy… Viscosity is awesome… My entire palate is coated with this tremendous whiskey. Overall - Wow. This is by far the best Barrell Bourbon Batch that I have had. I really thought 031 was incredible and wish I still had that vanilla bomb to blind this against. 4.75 easily.

Awesome nose, drinks a little hot, a cube would probably bring out the flavors better

First pour. Spicy, viscous, coating, semisweet, cherry syrup, caramel flambé, dried fruits and baking spices. Long peppery finish.
