Barrell Craft Spirits Launches Barrell Bourbon Batch 037
Barrell Craft Spirits has announced the launch of Barrell Bourbon Batch 037.
For this expression, the BCS blending team created a multi-mash bill blend of Indiana (8, 11 and 12 year), Kentucky (10 year), and Tennessee (13, 14 and 15 year) bourbon whiskeys. The final blend features a derived mash bill of 78% corn, 18% rye, and 4% malted barley and was bottled at 55.69% ABV (111.38 proof) in Kentucky.
Official tasting notes for Barrell Bourbon Batch 037 follow:
Nose: The first impressions are nostalgic with aromas of a Halloween candied apple followed by notes of smoked cherry wood. Next, notes of butter pecan ice cream, burnt orange peel, a slight tinge of licorice and white pepper add subtle complexities. It opens with oxygen to a sour granny smith, salted caramel and fruity nuances of peach sun tea.
Palate: The palate starts out acidic and zesty with notes of Curacao orange liqueur and candied ginger. Green cardamom adds brightness and slight whisper of anise. It develops into a viscous and warming palate of spiced orange and pine needles.
Finish: The overall lasting impression tickles the tip of the tongue, sticks to the mid palate, and coats the throat for a warming sensation. The flavors of a warm spiced pineapple upside down cake linger for a pleasant finish.
Barrell Bourbon Batch 037 is available for purchase at barrellbourbon.com and at select retailers for a suggested retail price of $84.99 per 750 mL bottle.
