Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon image
2BAR Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon
2BAR Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon offers a delightful fusion of traditional bourbon notes with the added complexity of wine barrel influence. The aroma is rich with vanilla and caramel, enhanced by hints of red berries and oak from the wine barrels. On the palate, expect the classic warmth of bourbon, transitioning into fruity and spicy notes, thanks to the wine barrel finish. The finish is long and warm, balancing bourbon spice with subtle wine-induced sweetness.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A wave of cinnamon leads the charge, followed by sweet caramel, vanilla, and a hint of burnt oak. Cinnamon dominates overall, but the balance of sweeter scents along with the oak keeps it manageable.
Palate: Big cinnamon spice pops upfront with a flash of Fireball candy potency. Dark fruit and baking spices follow, along with a touch of rye spice. It has a nice intensity, and like the nose, the cinnamon dominates and is also quite pleasant.
Finish: Sweet flavors of caramel candy and raw sugar develop first, followed by baking spices and a very light display of seasoned oak. The finish is medium-length and has just the right amount of intensity.
