Nose is orange and vanilla. sweeter, finish is candied corn, apricot, caramel and vanilla. Also some spicy citrus notes in there. Excellent and amazingly drinkable neat despite its ABV. The negative reviews on here are clearly about price, but that’s literally tons of bourbon these days. There’s no rhyme or reason to it other than hype. This distillery is hyped right now but it will probably pass. This is an excellent bourbon.

I drink all of my bourbon on a rock, but of the dozens or so Barrell products I've had (mostly batches and New Years releases), this one benefitted from the ice the most. I definitely encourage anyone drinking it straight, to try it on ice. Within 10–15 minutes on a big rock, the heat was dialed down significantly allowing me to pull out much more of the complexity and nuance.
