Barrell’s annual New 12 months launch for 2022 follows on from 2021 with their regular no-holds-barred mixing gymnastics, this time composed of straight bourbon whiskeys sourced from a whopping seven states (TN, IN, KY, OH, WY, NY, and TX), variously aged 5, 6, 7, 9, and 14 years. Barrell has confirmed by means of the years that mixing is its personal veritable talent within the bourbon kingdom that ends in some large pours.
I’ll simply minimize to the chase and say 2022 is pure delight. The nostril is so delicately balanced throughout its sourced juice that nobody observe overshadows one other, and as a substitute there’s a light waft of caramel wooden mellow fruit with the faintest of ethanol accent to the mint spice in a single harmonious whiff. The palate is a spicy and vivid show of burnt toffee and walnut banana bread, with the fitting tingly kick on the tongue of mint and cinnamon to maintain issues from getting too candy. A mushy oak and leather-based observe grips the end and lands on a muted cornbread and cocoa conclusion, with every sip altering and shifting barely because it goes.
Seize one for those who discover it. There’s one thing for each bourbon drinker on this newest machination.
115.34 proof.
