Barrell Bourbon Batch 08B

Dense and rich on the tongue with bursts of warm brioche slathered in salted caramel, the heat from the 128.3 proof whirs around the mouth. Batch 008B brings to mind the savory sweetness of candied spiced pecans and tang of bittersweet chocolate powder. Further sips encourage the mesmerizing multi-minute finish. Appearance: Dark amber with a deep mahogany core and narrow edges of golden sunlight. Turns of the wrist create tantalizing combinations of molten copper. Nose: Caramelized Granny Smith apple pie with orange zest and Madagascar vanilla paste. Tangy Yuzu, aged saddle leather, and warm dark chocolate ganache. Palate: Velvety across the palate with salvos of grey Brittany sea salt. Hot sweet summer corn creamed pudding with butter and honey tumbles around the mouth. Finish: Sweet tobacco smoke lightly brushed with buckwheat honey gives way to salty condensed milk before yielding to butterscotch candy and the generous multi-minute conclusion.
