Long legs in the glass. Sweet brown sugar nose, molasses and a slight spice and pepper. Does not bring the alcohol you might expect at this proof. Very sweet on the palate, caramel and brown sugar with a hint of almond. Flavor is concentrated on the middle of the tongue. Spice and heat come with the finish and fades nicely with the heat lingering in your chest. Unique and very nice. Follow up, the more I drink this, the more I like it. This whiskey is borderline exceptional. Finishing my second bottle of this, my opinion hasn't changed. This is easily the best Barrell batch I've had, although I have to admit I'm not a long time drinker of Barrell products.
