Retail Price: $100
Poured Neat in a Glencarin
Color: Dark Amber
Nose: As soon as I poured this, a scent of spearmint filled the Glen. After resting for about 30 seconds and a slight swirl, I started to sniff out some caramel, vanilla bean and heavy oak tones. The mint takes a back seat the longer it sits but still a pleasant aroma, nonetheless.
Palate: First sip hits me with a very inviting sweetness. A sweetness which can only be described as a creamy vanilla frosting. The sweetness starts to morph into a dark cherry cordial and plenty of hints of spicy oak.
Finish: Sweet, spicy and a long, warm and oily coating.
Overall: The journey this review took me on was something I wasn't expecting. All these flavors and scents work really well on their own, but I would have never thought they would work so well together. I was quite pleased with this particular barrel selection. This was also my first taste of any offering from Nashville Barrel Company.
Library Rating: 8.6 / 10
That’s all I needed to hear brotha!
Louis, I'll let you be the judge of that. I'm very happy with my purchase!
Great review. For the price, I think I wouldn't mind trying this one out. The proof and age statement sounds great for a 100.00 price point.
Great review brother! For retail at 100.00 and the 8.6 rating. Would you suggest this is one to pick up?
