Watershed Barrel Strength Bourbon Finished in Apple Brandy Barrels (Batch 002)

Nose: Toasted wood and apple on the nose. Its a sweet and tangy apple. After a while I start to get almost a BBQ sauce vibe with the sweet and smoky vibe. Taste: sweet apple and oak, similar to the nose but i feel the nose is softer and the tastes smacks a little harder. You definitely get the apple brandy influence. Then there is some nice spice and cinnamon that lingers. Then the fruits turns more bitter then sweet, but not in a bad way. Finish: short on the apple and sweetness, but the spice is what lingers. Has a decent moth feel at first and then starts to dry out after a while. I keep going back and there is some development, but it is mostly the same notes.

Pretty strong, but lots of great aromas!

Incredibly rich, dark fruit, soft spikes for 120ish proof. Vanilla nose is replaced with sweet spice aroma think fruit pie and the oak brings everything together. Over a large cube or as a julep, its amazing. First product I ever had from Watershed. Visited the Distillery to sample the rest of their selection and easily replaced High West as my favorite brand.
