Stranahan's Single Barrel Cask Strength Barrel #15-757 @ 108.74 Proof (I'm going to assume the 15 in the barrel number is the year, putting this around 5 years old.) After trying and liking the Stranahan's Blue Peak, I saw this one on sale for $50 and decided it was worth a chance... NOSE: Starts off rather simple and Fruit Forward (Pineapple, Pear, Apple, Kiwi) with Leather in the background. After a few minutes of air it becomes much more complex as the Leather moves more to the forefront and the Fruit notes are joined by a general Florality, Dry Barn Wood, Warm Oatmeal with a Strawberry Jam Swirl, and just a hint of Maple. NEAT: Substantial, Rich Mouthfeel leads to Heavy Fruit Sweetness on entry. Again, Pineapple, Pear, and Crisp Red Apple. My first thought is a Smoother Unpeated Highland Park. Mid-palate has Leather and a Slight Nuttiness with just a Hint of Tannins. Heavy Cherry on the Medium Length, Slightly Warming Finish. A nice Silky Coating of Kiwi, Cherry, Leather and Oak remains and increases in layers with each subsequent sip. SPLASH: A few drops of water and the nose gains a "Soapy" note and a Dry Pleasant Sweetness that I can almost, but not quite, place. The mild Tannic note that was present on the Palate is gone. The Fruit notes dominate the entire Palate and it becomes even sweeter. VERDICT: WOW. This is good. I can imagine that this would satisfy the sweetest of Sweet Tooths and still manage to appeal to Scotch, Bourbon, and Rye Lovers of all types. An American Whisky not dominated by Vanilla and Caramel, but equally sweet with notes of Tropical/Jammy/Syrupy Fruits? Sign me up every time.
