Barrell Craft Spirits - Bourbon - Batch 007 (750ml)

Barrell batch 007, is distilled and aged in Tennessee at cask strength bottling (122.4 proof) as is its tradition. The bourbon has been aged for 5 years in Char #4 American white oak barrels and the mash bill reads 70% corn, 25% rye, 5% malted barley Astute whiskey lovers might recall that the mash bill on the famous Batch 001, which launched this whiskey to fame, was very similar to this one. Batch 001 came in just a little softer at 121. 6 proof, with equal time spent in charred white oak barrels and with an exactly identical mash bill. All that, and it was also from Tennessee. Sizzling corn pudding in the nose, slathered in freshly churned maple butter gives way to dark, bittersweet chocolate and deeper notes of salted caramel and roasted stone fruits such as quince and plum. Bursts of citrus oils, grapefruit and Satsuma orange reveal themselves down the back of your throat along with tiny revelations of burnt sugar and salted caramel. Appearance: Opulently amber in hue, both soft and clear at the edge. Broad strokes of natural fats drip in deeply viscous lines down the side of the glass Nose: Radiant slices of green melon and charred stone fruits like quince, peaches and plums move quickly into deeper notes of oak- scented rickhouse and and toasted cornbread crumbs Palate: Toasty wood oven baked peach pies with a flaky hand- turned crust, introduces your taste buds to the deeper sultry flavors, intensely redolent of crunchy, sweet potato crusted hush puppies Finish: The long finish reveals exuberant aromatics of country fair corn dogs deep fried in lard along with lighter notes of salted figs
