Barrell Foundation Bourbon

Nose: Some caramel on the nose. Definitely some alcohol bite. A vague note that smells like seagrass. Palate: Burns very quickly, especially on the tongue. Very heavy mouthfeel, and it hangs out at the top.of your mouth. There is a slightly sweet peanuts note. Not the dustyness of Jim Beam, but still there. Finish: The bourbon loses most of its taste going down. The burn disappates quickly and then it just feels quite cold down the back of your throat. Some fruit appears on the tail end. Overall, for the price, I was disappointed. With ice, this is a decent bourbon, and it works as an "unwind at the end of the day" drink. However, for $45-$55, I can 100% find better bourbons out there.

Notes of maple syrup and honey immediately come to mind. Nice coating of the tongue with more maple syrup, tasted marshmallows, with a touch of dark chocolate and leather. Lots going on here. This could be my favorite bang for the buck out there!

Pretty easy going for 100 proof. Overall enjoyable and would buy again.

Nose is simple, sweet and pleasant. Get some scents of red apple peel, peach and cinnamon. Initial sip features the same apple and peach notes from the nose. Mid-palate brings in some bitter woody notes. Heat ramps up with some hints of cinnamon candy and pepper as the taste evolves into a medium finish.
