Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel and maple syrup. Palate: Cinnamon and baking spice, with a touch of oak and more maple syrup as the stronger flavors fade. Finish: Long and warm, with a sweet clove note. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 9/10 - I 've had this bottle for a while but hadn't opened it until now. The maple syrup notes are subtle and yet hard to miss. Barrell doesn't disappoint.
