Super Short Review - Barrell Vantage

Background

Courtesy of Show of Hands in DC. Which, if you haven't been, is an awesome spot with great people and prices. Blend of Tennessee, Indiana and Kentucky bourbons finished in Mizunara, French, and toasted American oak casks.

Barrell Vantage (NAS, 114 Proof)

Nose: Toasted marshmallow, orange peels, oak

Palate: Oranges, white peach, vanilla and definitely wood forward

Finish: Kind of dry, vanilla, black pepper, peach

6/10

Overall: Tasty! And I generally do love Barrells willingness to experiment. Loses me on the finish a bit, which I find a little too dry.
