Barrell 11 year old Full Proof Blend of Straights, 61.5%

Price: 200 Issue: Fall 2025 Reviewer: David Savona Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Oh so dark in the glass, this is a complex blend of bourbons ranging from 11 to 20 years old. It’s teeming with flavor, quite lively and almost electric on the palate; considerably sweet but not cloying, dripping with honeycomb, Heath bar, coffee bean, and savory pumpernickel bread. Add a touch of water and out comes chocolate-coconut cookies bolstered by a faintly herbaceous quality.
