High West Double Rye - Finished in Merlot Barrels

Meijer 2022 Barrel Select. (98.6pf). Definitely a step up.from normal HWDR, but you'll pay for that too. Not cheap. Nose- Vinous, inviting and tart. Palate- Tannic, fruity and tart but a lingrring bitter aftertaste. Smooth. Finish- medium and little hear but some bitter li gerung aftertaste.
