Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Palate: A creamy, full-bodied blend of dark caramel and dried fruits that transitions into signature rye spice, honeyed floral notes, and deep oak tannins
Finish: Exceptionally long and warm, leaving lingering notes of butterscotch, vanilla, and a gentle rye pepper spice.
