Attended a tasting event last night. I fought for a spot in it since it is limited to 20 guests. Had to get on a waitlist and got lucky as someone cancelled. The reason I wanted to go so badly is I have heard so many great things about Barrell and I dearly love Batch 29 which I have reviewed already. Also I have been wanting to try Seagrass as well as I had heard how unique it is! IT IS unique! Final and most important reason I wanted to go so badly is they discounted the price on all the tasting offerings for those in attendance. I snagged my beloved Batch 29 holding off on Seagrass but will add that to collection later. So to focus on Batch 30... Appearance: Oily and leggy. Nose: Sweet, creamy, nutty comes up front. after a bit of a sit some cinnamon, caramel and orange peel show up. Flavor: saddle leather, oak, mellow and not too much heated spice, Some ginger, cardamon and cinnamon but subtle. With a drop of water the sweetness comes out into a tropical mixed fruit but no one fruit takes front and center. It is like a tropical mixed fruit cup in natural juices. Then once you think it has finished evolving a nutty amaretto presents itself with cremini mushroom and orange liquor! Finish: Fig and fruit leather. Overall a wonderful absolutely great bourbon. One that many would love in their collection. I prefer the batch 29 personally so grabbed that one instead. They are bot solid bourbons but I can't have them all, not at once anyway. The problem is you gotta get them while you can as these are one run only bourbons! Barreel is a craft bourbon brand although they do have a couple others that are always available (Seagrass and Dovetail) their batch number bourbons are not. Ratings have nothing to do with cost - just my impressions.
