Barrell 33 year old French Oak & Olororo Sherry Cask Finished Cask Strength, 70%

Price: 200 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Canadian

A whole lot of wood on the nose (sawdust, lumberyard, and paper bag), plus roasted grain, caramel, cocoa powder, and milk chocolate. The palate is a doozy, so have your tissues (and water) at the ready—relentless cinnamon heat coats the mouth, but with time (and again, that water), white pepper, rich hot chocolate, nougat, Heath bar, and baking spice come out. The finish is big and bold, and perfect for those who like whisky that packs a punch. (Release date: 11/24)
