The nose on this batch is leathery with plenty of seasoned oak and peppery spice. It sweetens as it opens in the glass with candied orange peel, Werther’s Originals, a little praline, and creamed corn. The palate is medium-bodied, not quite oily, and initially a little hot for its proof. More of the Tennessee whiskey seems to come across at first with that familiar, rustic raw corn and fresh grist note. A little caramel and chocolate fudge arrive on the mid-palate and things begin to grow progressively sweeter with a warming, easy spice that evokes cinnamon Red Hots and clove chewing gum. The finish sees everything come together in a harmony of kettle corn, citrus candies, and cigar box. A nice marriage of both styles that shows why Barrell is proud to be called a blender.
