Broken Barrel Americana

Very smooth, but with a significant amount of char. We wished the apple brandy cask had a greater impact, as the fruit flavor appears quite late in the tasting. Nevertheless, it offers a very accessible start. We would be interested to experience how a longer aging period would perform. The char is secondary to the corn's sweetness, with a somewhat light body. We find this enjoyable in whiskey highballs and when consumed alongside a lager ale.

Nose of fruited staves. A light, easy drinker but buttery. Fruit-forward with vanilla oak. Not complex, but enjoyable.
