SW Private Barrel Select
Nose: Damp rickhouse, cocoa powder, roasted marshmallows, Graham cracker, caramel popcorn, red apple and rose petals
Palate: Buttery mouthfeel, milk chocolate, red apple, great balance of sweet oak with a subtle spice underneath
Finish: Oak spice sizzles to start, and leaves the tongue and top palate tingling and gives the impression of Red Hot or Hot tamale candy, heavy cream aftertaste along with tobacco leaf and dried apple
Overall, a very pleasant dram. I love the buttery/creamy mouth feel and great balance of sweet and spicy notes. Interestingly, the creamy sweetness and cinnamon notes make me think of horchata or eggnog which is really fun.
86/100
