Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Bourbon 15 Year (2020 Release)

Continually impressed with barrell.. Nose is very sweet and inviting but has a lot of ethanol. Taste is more musty and leather with some baking spice. Water helps to open it and soften the spice. Medium finish and is a really good juice

This is fantastic. The nose is loaded and expressive. Oak, brown sugar, strawberry, peach, banana, coconut, nutmeg, caramel turtles, roasted peanuts and hazelnuts, and a little bit of leather helps show the age. The ideal mix of oak and fruit with tons of complexity Entry is rich and inviting, showing layers of flavor. The spice shows up first in nutmeg, allspice, and some clove, then the generous richness of the oak and brown sugar from the nose sweep over the tongue. Honeyed apricot and peach add to the fruity component of the bourbon and the proof is quite nice as it lets flavors shine without being too hot. Finish is long and complex with tons of gooey caramel, vanilla cream soda, hazelnut brittle, and tannic oak. What a way to end such a fantastic ride.
