Barrell Private Release Calvados Cask-Finished Kentucky Whiskey (Batch No. AH14), 60.9%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2020 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton ● Category: American Whiskey
Pastry shop aromas permeate the nose: blueberry crumble with crusted brown sugar,fresh-baked muffin, boysenberry syrup, and fragrant peaches, nectarines, and orangepeel. The palate pops with lively citrus, a surprising but not unwelcome element thatplays well with toasted almond, chestnut honey, and nutty oak flavors. It finishes withroasted peanuts, bittersweet chocolate, and tea leaf, still retaining peppy citrus.
