Barrell Craft Spirits - New Year Bourbon 2023
In the whiskey industry, the past is always with you. But Barrell has always set themselves apart by always keeping one eye on the future. Maybe that’s why they love celebrating the New Year so much. Each autumn, they create a very special blend of bourbons as a toast to the new beginnings and fresh energy of the year to come.
Making New Year Bourbon gives them an opportunity to see the pillars of the brand through clear eyes, celebrate the inherent creativity of the blending process, and rededicate efforts towards forward-thinking, quality-driven line of spirits. Released at the beginning of December, Barrell New Year Bourbon 2023 is a tribute to the optimism that every new year brings.
NOSE: Lively and packed with caramel, honey, pralines and almonds, chocolate orange slices (you know, the candy from Christmases as a kid), faint chalkiness and a wallop of butterscotch.
TASTE: Honey-forward, plenty of oak and sweet tannin, nuttiness that reminds me of some of my favorite Knob Creeks and a warming chocolate orange note once more. Savory and sweet, it changes a lot from the moment it hits your tongue.
FINISH: Medium finish with a touch of ethanol and heat, but the cocoa notes dial way up
