Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington

Barrell Bourbon Batch 029

Bourbon — (bottled in) Kentucky, USA

Reviewed February 26, 2022 (edited November 14, 2023)
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
This is one I wish I hadn’t passed on. Brought over by a friend to go through different batches side by side. My 019 was decidedly nutty and almost pecan pie-like. I would be amazed if that KT/TN blend didn’t contain a fair amount of Beam mixed with older Dickel. This one was a very different beast. Rather fragrant but with toffee, candy cigarettes, red apples, clove, leather and oak. The palate had a nice weight to it, kind of like an Irish pot still. This was decidedly MGP with a robust array of sage, cedar, clove and other baking spices folded into toffee and oak. There is a bit of Dickel minerality but no Beam nuttiness. I don’t think I’ll pin down the KY component but suspect it’s bringing in the toffee and oak. Warm and oily, this is a winner.

    There’s so many, and most of these are solid 4 stars. Hard to know which ones pass that 4+ category. Sounds like this one to pick up. Good thing is that it’s all solidly priced around $80 here
