This is a total wine single barrel select barrel proof. Barrel 3602 bottle 95, 120.26 proof
Uncorking- Nose- took about 20min to really open in the glass. Once it did I am getting a lot of caramel, vanilla, light oak, some rye spice with hints of spearmint, dark berries after
Taste- brown sugar, vanilla beans, sawdust, hints of spice, some vegetal flavors, rich. Spikes a little bit on the tongue in a pleasant way. Going back I got more flavors. Earthy, almost morel mushrooms. Almost hints of bacon fat. Going
Finish - relatively long, cinnamon, sweetness, dark berries, bitter oak balances the sweetness and spice. Small hints of leather on the finish.
Well I get the hype. It's definitely a standout barrel proof. I have a private club barrel pick coming in a few weeks and will go side by side. Tonight I put it against JD BP and EC BP Batch B520 Big hitters. 3 really different drams. The JD is a sweet forward pour with some oak and spice. The ECBP is all leather, wood, char. The Woodinville is almost in between. Sweeter than EC, more depth and darker flavors than JD. Interestingly when I tasted this between the others I liked it more than on its own. Funny how what else you taste influences perception.
