Age: 8-years old

Proof: 117.4 proof / 58.7 APV

Barrel No: 29

Mash Bill: 74% Corn, 18% Rye, 8% Malted Barley

Tasting Notes:

The nose is dark and heavy with rich sugars, chocolate covered raisins, barrel char, and a touch of mint.

The palate leads with hefty dark fruits and more perfumed cinnamon stick than most of the other barrels we selected. Not necessarily dry or heated cinnamon, but definitely rustic baking spices with lots of cranberry, cherry, plum, and raisin.

The finish is long with dark chocolate and raisin, and lots of fresh spiced wood.
