Barrell Vantage

Predominately wood notes, even piney. Tart, bright fruit. Medium body. Spice builds as you go. Finish is spicy/piney wood notes, leather, tobacco. Medium duration.

She’s a beautiful 114.44 proof, is fruity, spicy, and different. Notes of red fruit throughout the nose and taste. Then spice hits and lingers. Followed by the Japanese wood, albeit subtle but noticeable-in a good way. Cask strength is not overwhelming, nor does it get lost with the different finishes. It’s rare when a bourbon lives up to anticipation, let alone maybe surpasses expectations. If you are looking for something different but still hits all the important notes, this is your bottle. #thedividenbourbonclub #octoberpic

Full bodied bourbon, sweet enough with some spice.

First time trying something with this much oak inspiration. Good spice, smooth drink, oil and dryness are just enough. I look forward to coming back to this bottle.

Barrell releases just keep getting more interesting. With this latest expression, they’ve hit all the marks of a truly great whiskey. Distillate, choice of oak, char, length of aging, and bottling at proof. The flavor is expressive, rich and chewy, with a lot of sweet backbone. The mouthfeel is warm, slightly heavy and hits every corner of the palate. The finish is exquisite, leaving you begging for “just one more sip”. A real winner and it should be on the shortlist for American Blended Bourbon of the year.
