10 years old and 90 proof. Laser code Julian date of “19033”, or 2-2-2019. It lost the Single Barrel labeling back around 2014.
Although it’s not labeled as a single barrel anymore, it estentially still is. The barrels are dumped in series. They dump a barrel - bottle it, dump a barrel - bottle it, and so on, but since there is the potential for left over bourbon between barrel dumps, some portions at the beginning and the end are mixed with the previous barrels.
N: Oak, creme brûlée, cinnamon, vanilla, a little mint.
P: Oak, pepper, mint, cinnamon, nutmeg, spiced maple syrup, vanilla.
F: Oak, creamy cocoa, licorice, toasted oak.
Oak, spice, mint, and a little vanilla for the most part. A fairly spicy bourbon, but not overly so. It’s pretty even keel all the way through from start to finish. I drink these bottles every so often. I’ve always liked them for the money. They run $31.99 around my neck of the woods. In today’s day and age, that’s a good value to me. 3.75 to 4.

A 10 year old Single Barrel for $30’ish? Enjoy it while you can, folks. After a couple mid-fires, my latest Barrel knocked it outta the park.
Great review and totally agree. Solid value and pretty consistent
