Super Short Review - Barrell Bourbon (Seelbachs and Breaking Bourbon Pick)

Background

Notes below for this delicious Barrell Craft Spirits pick (dubbed “Breaking Barrell”) from Seelbachs & Breaking Bourbon. 15% 5 year, 5% 10 year, 50% 14 year and 30% 16 year juice in the mix.

Barrell Bourbon - Seelbachs and Breaking Bourbon Pick (5 Years, 112.72 Proof)

Nose: Raspberry and generally berry jam. Occasionally caramel apple. Palate is peanut butter and grape jelly with a bit of honey. The finish is leathery, Red Hot candies.

Palate: Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time. But seriously slight nutty notes and that persistent jam from the nose.

Finish: Bit of heat comes through here, leather, slight berry remnants and cinnamon red hot candies.

7/10

Overall: Really fun blend here! Good amount of flavor while still being approachable, finish brings a fun late heat that’s a bit unexpected but not off putting.
