Barrell Craft Spirits 18 Year Single Barrel Whiskey (75cl, 63.6%)

This is an 18 year old single barrel American whiskey from Barrell Craft Spirits, distilled and aged in Kentucky. It is bottled at cask strength, 63.6%, in a 75cl bottle. It may not meet the strict mash bill rules for bourbon, so it sits in the broader American whiskey category. The nose has vanilla, light corn sweetness, orchard fruits and a little butterscotch. The palate is evolving, with stewed fruit, caramel, spice and a touch of herbal character. The long finish brings oak, light mint and drying spice.
