Hard Truth Barrel Finish Reserve Double Oaked New Charred Oak Barrel Finished, 53.45%

Powerfully spiced and charred on the nose; dried cinnamon and allspice mingle with burnt oak and charred fruit. The intensity of char hides a light fresh-cut lumber note that shows with each sip alongside ginger ale, cola, and roasted apples. The palate is prickly too, with spiky cinnamon and a good shake of cracked black pepper. The finish is all charred fruits and vanilla syrup with decent length. (Release date: 9/24)
