Barrell 9 year old Bourbon (Batch 008)

There’s a lot going on here: rich caramel soft vanilla gingerbread cookies straight from the oven cinnamon marzipan honey and peach. Then it’s a dance of the caramel/vanilla-combo richness with brown sugar butter and toffee. The thing is you need to appreciate barrel strength whiskey to capture its essence as the beasty alcohol overpowers. Even barrel strength lovers will find a splash of water opens it up giving more caramel walnut and whoopie pie. Long caramel finish.
