Barrell Craft Spirits – Vantage (Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey) 750ml

Barrell Craft Spirits – Vantage (Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey)

Barrell Vantage represents a groundbreaking exploration in bourbon finishing, showcasing the profound impact of diverse wood on whiskey. This exceptional release is a meticulously crafted blend of bourbons, each selected for its unique character, that then undergoes a unique triple-finishing process in three distinct types of virgin oak barrels: Mizunara, French Oak, and American Oak. This innovative approach layers the bourbon with unparalleled depth and complexity, creating a rich tapestry of flavors that highlights the finest attributes of each wood, resulting in a truly elegant and captivating sipping experience.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: A complex and inviting bouquet of sweet baking spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg), rich vanilla, toasted nuts, dried dark fruits, and exotic notes of sandalwood and incense from the Mizunara.
• Flavor: Layers of sweet caramel, dark chocolate, and candied nuts unfold, balanced by vibrant fruit notes (dried cherry, orange peel) and a sophisticated array of spices from the various oaks. The Mizunara contributes unique herbal or exotic wood notes, while French and American oaks add structure and depth.
• Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, silky, and remarkably viscous, coating the palate with a luxurious warmth and a smooth delivery.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, evolving, and complex, with lingering notes of sweet oak, exotic spice, dark fruit, and a pleasant, subtle dryness.
