Barrell Bourbon

Batch 036 is a multi-mashbill blend that combines full-bodied barrels with black cherry notes and oak-forward barrels with a nutty flavor profile. After these mingled, younger barrels with stone fruit and peppery highlights were added to the blend. Lastly, older barrels with notes of milk chocolate, cinnamon, and pecans were carefully layered in. The result is an elegant bourbon that is opulent on the finish.

Batch 035:

NOSE: Jammy and cooked fruits leap out first such as lemon curd, cherry, and banana bread. That well-spiced character of the banana bread continues as woodsy notes emerge, with birch beer leading into tiramisu. The rye in the mashbill is particularly bold, bringing olive and thyme. Once the nose settles down a bit it reveals deeper aromas of cocoa butter and molasses.

PALATE: Mexican hot chocolate, cinnamon, and dried chili peppers make a spicy first impression. There's a freshness to it with grapefruit peel and absinthe. There's also an intense earthiness of pinecone and baking chocolate. As you roll the sip around your mouth, it grows much richer and creamier, developing into eggnog and tahini.

FINISH: Lime zest and amaretto, and some grated coconut; rye spice takes over as slate, fennel, and cola notes linger.
