Barrell 13 year old Grey Label Blend of Straights (2024 Release), 55.06%

Price: 159 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Strawberry Honey Bunches of Oats, cherrydipped vanilla soft serve, and raspberry jam, oh my! The red fruit brigade is here, marching alongside pleasantly sugared flavors. If you’re enjoying the nose, then odds are the palate will similarly please, as cream soda, French toast topped with powdered sugar, cherry Robitussin, and coffee coat the mouth. The finish cements this as a breakfast whiskey of sorts—maple syrup, fresh coffee, and a bowl of berries round out the ride. (Release date: 10/24).
