112.5 proof - “A marriage of Tennessee, Indiana, and Kentucky Bourbon”. Aged 10 years, 14 years, and 15 years. The bottle carries an age statement of 10 years & 4 months.
N: Pecan pie, a heap of vanilla beans, caramel apples, leather.
P: Pecan pie with whipped cream, pralines, vanilla and buttered pancakes.
F: Creamy mocha, pecans, and leather, baking spices and hints of pepper.
This reminds me so much of pecan pie - through and through. This is fairly sweet with nice candied notes, and just a little bit of spice on the end.
I would be very surprised to learn that the Kentucky portion of this is not from Heaven Hill. It has that “nutty” praline presence that is so prevalent in Heaven Hill’s lower core range (Dant, JTS Brown, etc), but can still be found in some of it’s “premium” offerings as well.

Thinking the same, HH or Beam, the smooth dank sweetness is out front on this one. Cheers!
@dubz480 @pollywollydoodle. I’ve had their Dovetail, which I thought was amazing. Punched above its class
Love most of the Barrel products I have had. Last batch I bought was 14 and really enjoyed it. Great review as always!
