Barrell Bourbon New Year 2018

Big hot nose with some dark chocolate and almond. Brown sugar on the palate and dark chocolate again on finish.

A good full flavored bourbon. Very fruity. Just a little over priced for what you get.

not the right bottle but closest I could find. having a 14yr cask strength barrel pick 111proof

Hot corn and hay on the nose. Semi-oily mouthfeel with corn, wood, cherry cola, citrus and vanilla on the palate. The palate honestly changes on every sip. A couple drops of water adds lemon pledge on the nose and additional citrus/fruitiness on the palate. I went into this review assuming I’d type something like “it’s not worth the price tag” at the end. But honestly, it’s a nice bourbon. I suppose it depends on what you expect to pay for a solid, cask strength bottle.

Dark Amber in color. The nose is strong honey and vanilla with a fresh oak scent. You need to let this high proof bourbon sit before doing nosing it much less tasting it. The palate give you full bodied mouth feel viscous, peppery and sweet. The finish is a little astringent and hot, but quick to dissipate. Not as good as how it smells or tastes.
