Barrell Seagrass

Rum and apricot Brandy

Really good and a lot going on. Marmalade, apricot jam, rye spice, mint. Everything in nice balance.

This dram is tropical all the way! Apricot and marmalade jam are met on the front of the plate. The rye comes in with hit of fresh herbal mint on the mid-palate along with fresh pineapple. On the finish I get an some oak presence along with smokey grilled tropical fruits!

Nose: more subtle orange and citrus compared to the palate, proof comes over more on the nose than the palate Palate: so balanced, the apricot definitely comes through but it’s not overly sweet (pleasant), citrus, great blend Finish: think it drinks below the proof, maybe the fruitiness counterbalances the ABV? Overall: Live this bottle. Barrell bottles are mostly hitters but I’ve tasted a few that completely miss for me. This is not one. Price point is tough, but will still try to keep this one stocked.

Viscous. Raw mint, eucalyptus and spice. Mellows quickly.
