Tasting Notes

Barrell's everyday bottle: a multi-state blend proofed down to 100 instead of bottled at cask strength. Creamy cake and vanilla up front, then a dry, rye-driven peppery finish.

Nose

vanilla, oak, nougat, dark berries

Palate

rye spice, yellow cake, vanilla cream, white pepper

Finish

dry, peppery, oak, light leather

Best enjoyed neat, rocks, old-fashioned.
