Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Seagrass (2022 Release)

Wow..great nose, fruity, spicy, and sweet. Thise notes continue throughout the taste with more spice than heat but is met with the brandy fruity sweetness. The oak is noticeable but really helps bring out the other notes. Just short of perfect if that is such a thing.

Salty and lemongrass. Very good

Tried neat thanks to @Looneyhead On the nares i get notes of apricot, canned peaches, sweet cream. On the palate its slick and silky with notes of creme brulee, peaches, apricot, cinnamon, and wood.

Had my eye on this a while and finally pulled the trigger. Rich vanilla custard creme brulee and gingerbread on the nose. Lots to explore with apricot, melon, grape, dill, mint, cherry on the tongue. Long, spicy finish. Don’t know if i’ll buy again given the price, but this is a standard.

Incredibly smooth for the proof. Fruity- cherry, apricot, orange- with a baking spice and spearmint finish and undertones of dark oak.

Cherry, apricot, watermellon candy. Rye and mint finish.

Bottle #2,149. Mine is actually 133.34 proof, so per their website, this is the fall 2022 release. I’ve had my eye on this. Pulled the trigger on the last one at Total Wine. The nose: rich, with vanilla, crème brûlée, apricot, rye, fresh cut grass, pecans, lemon, flowers, mint, cantaloupe, salt air, oak, pear and char. On the palate very floral, some rye spice, apricot, oak, vanilla, caramel, mint and other herbs, cinnamon, charcoal and cherry. Spicy, lingering finish, peppery and fruity and slightly sweet. Distinct apricot. Holy shit this is good; rich, complex, etc. etc. and shockingly drinkable for 133.34 proof. I started this at 4.75, which means it challenged Willett rye for my sole 5.0…because I’ll always have a “best” so far. Well, it’s now my 5.0. And just like that, now it isn’t.
