Barrell Vantage Toasted Mizunara, French, and Toasted American Oak Finished Blend of Straights, 57.58%,

Price: 200 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A curious blend of scents greets the nose, a testament to the influence of the three unique finishing barrels: Golden Grahams, baking spice, star anise, a hint of licorice, and root beer. The palate is chock-full of spice, ranging from anise and sarsaparilla to a hefty dollop of cinnamon by way of Big Red gum. The finish takes a sweeter turn, buoyed by wood spice and cinnamon syrup.
