Broken Barrel 36 month old The Wreckoner Cognac Stave Finished, 60%

Up front, honeyed oats, raisins, and floral perfume spar with Smarties and Pixie Stix, all underpinned by vanilla pound cake and frangipane. Water draws out powdered sugar, sweetened dough, and toasted vanilla. The cognac staves shine on the palate, introducing grape and berry flavors that teeter from sweet to tart. Orchard fruits and a soft grainy sweetness round out the sip before the whiskey wraps up with a long peppery finish. (150 bottles)
