Barrell Whiskey Batch 002

The nose has a sweet gum aroma, similar to Juicy Fruit. After a few minutes, more vanilla appears on the nose. It feels syrupy on the palate. It's sweet (though not as sweet as the nose suggests), with a spicy kick. The sometimes unusual sherry flavors are present but balanced. The heat is lip-numbing. Given its syrupy texture, the taste is initially a bit thin, but as the initial wave of heat subsides, it becomes layered and interesting. However, for some reason, I wish one aspect of the profile would stand out and dominate, but none does. 7/26/17.

An initial "Whoa" Spicy, rich, leathery Coconut, tobacco, baking spices A long-lasting finish with cinnamon, pepper, and vanilla.

The burn is entirely in the latter half. It's masked by very pleasant caramel and spices. Quite strong, but worth the intensity.

Syrupy sweet. Doesn't taste strongly of alcohol. Light finish. Mild and peppery, with a bit of spice.

Smell: fruit preserves. Taste is sweet with notes of vanilla; the conclusion brings Fruity Pebbles cereal. Texture: has some body.

Smooth at first, with caramel and honey notes initially, followed by a spicy finish.
