Barrell Bourbon Batch 028

Barrell Bourbon Batch 28 Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Appearance: Caramel. Nose: The nose is appealingly spicy with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Palate: This is rich and heavy with molasses and chocolate cream pie but not overly sweet. 

Barrell Bourbon Batch 028 is a blend of 10 and 11-year-old barrels created from a marriage of three distinct sub-groups of barrels. The first was aroma forward with notes of tropical fruit, citrus zest and exotic spices, identified to drive the nose of the final blend. The second group had a richness in the middle palate and a sweet, almond-like body. The third group was peppery and tannic, adding backbone and a savory, woodsy and earthy component. The final blend of Batch 028 allows each of these groups to shine through. It presents a bouquet of ripe tropical and sweet flower aroma backed up by a robust punch of rustic wood in the cadence and finish.
