Experience the exquisite burst of flavor with Barrell Bourbon Batch 010 Cask Strength. This straight bourbon whiskey, distilled in Indiana, aged in Michigan, and crafted and bottled in Kentucky, brings a unique fusion of tastes to the palate. Aged for eight years in American white oak barrels, this 122.0 proof cask strength bourbon offers an extraordinary exploration of flavor.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Capturing the essence of rose gold in late summer sunlight, it displays hints of golden honey and sunlight, as if seen through the birch trees in early October.
-
Nose: Dominated by Crème Brule and grilled grapefruit, followed by toasty grain, vanilla simple syrup, and sun-bleached hay. Wet cedar and toasted pine nuts add an intricate layer to the sensory journey.
-
Palate: Unfolds with dark chocolate-covered citrus fruits and fruit leather, morphing into cedar shavings and wood smoke. This experience deepens in the decadent, five-minute ending.
-
Finish: Evokes late harvest peaches roasted on sweet butter drenched cinnamon raisin bread, giving way to saddle leather and crushed salt, culminating in a multi-minute finish.

Great Purchase
While the purchase was awesome I did receive Barrell single barrel #10 instead of Barrell batch 10. The single barrel was one of the early ones before Barrell Craft Spirits changed the way single barrels were labeled. Actually kind of lucky in that fashion. Just be aware that when you order products, especially those from companies like Barrell, the supply partners can give Frootbat inaccurate info. Not on Frootbat honestly.
