Barrell Private Release Tokaji Cask-Finished Kentucky Whiskey (Batch No. AH02), 60.71%

The sweet vanilla, almond, and coconut aromas don't prepare you for the chocolatyrichness of the palate, but don't stress; just enjoy the journey. It starts with AlmondJoy, crème brûlée with fresh blackberries, nougat, and marzipan, then progresses tocacao nibs, dried cranberries and cherries, and a striking amaretto flavor. Everythingwraps up neatly—and lengthily—with cocoa powder, black pepper, mocha, androasted walnuts. Don't be shy about watering generously; this can quite a bit.
