Barrell has quickly climbed up my favorite brand list. It seems everything they put on the shelf lately is fantastic. This one takes the higher price point of their bottles up a bit to the $200 mark and it still is one of the most flipped bottles according to recent articles. In any case I am one for sippin not flippin so let's dive in. Nose is all vanilla and caramel. No ethanol or funky notes on this one. First sip is full of flavor. Caramel, brown sugar, maybe a hint of peanut brittle. This leads to some peppery heat on the edges that builds to a mild burn before trailing off to a light creme brulee finish. Let me start by saying $200 is a bit much for any bottle so I expect some magic. This one is really an excellent dram. It is one of the best 15 year bottles I have had across the board and might be darn close to a 5 if not so pricey. In any case one to grab if you can find it and pull the trigger.
