Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Bourbon 15 Year (2018 Release)

Amazing whiskey. Priced higher than I would purchase, but delicious if you can get a taste for a reasonable price.

Balanced, pleasant nose. Nothing sticks out but it's complex and good. After a while it opens up, nuts, salted butter, and cotton candy. Some maple syrup. Splash of fruit, and artificial sweeteners found in vitamins. On the palate, familiar peanut profile. Perhaps less intensely nutty than the 14-year store picks, but of that ilk. Some Flintstones vitamins. Candied Granny Smith apples. Soft finish, but not short. 4/26/19

Nose is complex and powerful with hot cinnamon like spice and singed dark toffee. Flavor is immense. Starts with a powerful caramel rush that continues until the finish. On the end, light notes of mocha and cocoa bean develop, along with medium spice. Finishes quite dry with lingering spice. This is an intense powerful whiskey.

Well...this is worth every penny. Nose is fruits, baking spice, brown sugar, oak, leather, and tobacco. Pallet is brown sugar, carmel, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Great richness leads to a wonderful pour. Honestly, up there with Promise of Hope and 4R 50 as my favorite bourbon I’ve had. Well done.
