Super Short Review - Hidden Barn (Series 001, Batch 2)

Background

Hidden Barn, best known as Jackie Zykan’s new venture with the Neeley family. You know you try to write a super short review and then you learn they are releasing different series, and there are batches within those series, and the series come from different distilleries. Anyways, details on each series is here. This is batch 2 from series one.  

Hidden Barn Series One Batch 2 Bourbon(NAS, 110 Proof)

Nose: Caramel apple, corn flakes, straw

Palate: Mulled cider, maple, oak, tastes a touch on the younger side.

Finish: Cinnamon sticks, cider, vanilla…mostly cider/apples

5/10

Overall: Something about the mouthfeel and apple of it all does drink like a pot still whiskey. It’s ok, and I’m curious to see what Hidden Barn does in the future… but there’s just not a ton to write home about for now.
