Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Vanilla, caramel, and a touch of honey. Palate: Cinnamon red hots, baking spice, clove. Finish: Long length with plenty of heat. Splash: Some oak tannins appear. Overall: 8/10 - This was a neck pour, so it may open up over time. It’s pretty much what I expect from a Barrell batch - high proof with a little bit of oak. This would definitely hold up in a cocktail, but the price is a bit too high for it to be a mixer.
