Barrel #9 Tasting Notes
courtesy of Remy Newland
Nose: Nose tingling spice. Sweet apple with a whisper of tartness, oranges and lime peel. An undulating background butterscotch note harmonizing with the agave. Cinnamon, cloves, mint and moss. Herbal spikes of thyme, basil, marjoram and mild white pepper. Lots of citrus aromatics in play here.
Flavor: Spicy and playful. Citrus, butterscotch, flinty minerals and punchy pepper lead the introductory impression. Lots of fruit and agave. Nice viscosity on the palate, some brininess. This Single Barrel tastes like it has barely been kissed by oak. Yet there is enough barrel influence to contribute a warm spice and vanilla framework.
Finish: A mouth watering, round, balanced, warming farewell.
