BARRELL BOURBON BATCH 18

Neat

• Appearance: Wildflower honey with brassy highlights.
• Nose: Opens rich and fruity, on orange liqueur and maraschino syrup, with underpinnings of cardamom, juniper, and incense. (Barrell Bourbon Batch 18)
  With air, a note of sweet vermouth arrives then evolves into concord grape jam and mint shisha. Slowly, exotic notes of papaya, finger lime, and gooseberry lift above the milieu. (Barrell Bourbon Batch 18)
• Palate: The flavor of wildflower honey joins the orange liqueur and sweet vermouth from the nose but these sweet flavors are balanced by tangy pomegranate and strawberry. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and Kahlua lend it depth.
• Finish: Unexpectedly earthy, with cardamom re-appearing alongside almond, cappuccino, and sumac.

With a few drops of spring water The fruit grows brighter, introducing notes of tangerine zest, mango, passionfruit, and coconut, while mineral notes of limestone and tonic water add even more lift.
