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.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Lemon, vanilla, and spicy oak with notes of orange peel and ginger.
Palate: Pepper, vanilla and tobacco flavors.
Finish: Pear drops and peppercorn.
