Nose of charred oak , cedar box , seasalt. Taste includes burnt sugars, dark chocalate, cinnamon butter. My favorite Barrell bourbon batch out of 8 or so prior batches i have tried . Finish is long and keep unfolding into more flavors of vanilla and baking spices. It a shame this batch has long since disappeared off the shelves or i would be on my way to the store for backup bottle.
