"Whittler's Bench Pick"
Barrel No. 757157412
*NOSE: Pours into the Glencairn a great Rich Mahogany Color. The Nose yields notes of Dense Dry Brown Sugar, Molasses, Bit O' Honey, Dry Oak, Dried Peach, Baby Aspirin, and Leather. Dry Empty Glass is Fudge Brownie.
*NEAT: Fairly Thick & Clingy. Fruit Forward. Orange, Lemon, Artificial Cherry (Almost Froot Loop Cereal), Dry Oak Tannins, Brown Sugar, Black Pepper, Cardamom, and Cinnamon. Medium to Longish Drying Finish with a Nice KYHug from the 115 Proof. Oak, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Bitter Fruit Coat and Linger on the palate. Very Complex!
*SPLASH: Becomes a Little Sweeter with some Maple and Hazlenut. Just a tick more Tannins. Holds up to a Large Cube of Ice very nicely as well and makes a kick-ass Old Fashioned.
*VERDICT: While Yellowstone blends Heaven Hill with their own distillate for their flagship bottling, the Single Barrels are sourced from Barton. The Barton Profile and I don't normally get along, but this barrel is, put simply, by far the best Barton I've had. A nice surprise and I'm kicking myself for not picking up a second.
