fosmith Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Last night opened Barrell Whiskey batch 5. My wife got it for me as a birthday gift (she's a keeper!). Very light in color - must have spent little or no time in new, charred barrels. Nose reminds me of Mellow Corn - probably a good amount of corn whiskey in it - but much more complex. Very spicy and complex on the palate and somewhat hot with a long finish. Lots of fruit and spice notes from the different finishing barrels they used. A very unique and interesting whiskey.

Paddy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 ^^^^It's a used barrel, therefore barrel whiskey (instead of barrel bourbon). It too, am a fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako254 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Old label Russells. Never had one from N before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Cracked a bottle I got recently on a trip to Michigan from a local craft distiller. Iron Fish bourbon finished in Maple Syrup Barrels. 86 proof. It's pretty good, although you can tell it is young. No age is given, and it's not listed a straight bourbon, so I assume it's a year or less. The maple syrup finish does offer some complexity, and of course added sweetness. This has good viscosity/mouth feel for only 86 proof. Not sure if I would buy another bottle, but it is interesting. They also have a tawny port finished bourbon that would be interesting to try sometime too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually not into the gimmicky stuff, but I love some port wine, and that sounds delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I now have some room on my "open" shelf, so I reckon I'm just gonna have to live up to my sb nickname. Weller whore that I am, I'm going old school, with the exception of the 2017 WLW. On deck, and very soon to be opened along side the aforementioned 2017 WLW are a paper label OWA, a 1 liter paper label Weller SR, and an older (non embossed wheat) Weller 12. FWIW, thanks to a fellow member here I had the privilege to sample (on a number of occasions) a paper label ps Weller 12. I can only wistfully dream about that now. Still, I think the one I have will be more than sufficient. Biba! Joe 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to the topic at hand; Weller whore that I am, and having opened all the bottles I previously posted about, one would tend to think I'd be happy and wouldn't have to open anything else. Maybe not. I had a really decent day at work for a change, especially for a Monday. For some strange reason, when I got home from work, I had a hankering for some HPR. So I opened my one and only bottle and had a very healthy pour. (or two) What can I say? Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
