For starters, I don’t have the most developed palate. I’m interested and partial to Barrell as I have tried and like there finished whiskeys. I’m getting citrus fruit with some vanilla on the palate, for me this drink sits more on the bright fruit/sweet side with enough spice to make things interesting. Long subdued finish. Drinks much lower than the proof. There is a depth and complexity here that is expected of a premium product, but nothing that will “wow” you. Solid batch. I agree with the distiller score, 89, although we differ on the notes.
