Description
Barrell Private Release Whiskey Jamaican Rum Finish S1B6 is a symphony of flavors achieved by blending undisclosed straight whiskeys aged for at least 6 years and then finishing them in Jamaican rum casks. This unique process marries the classic oaky notes of aged whiskey with a vibrant layer of tropical fruit characteristics.
Initial Nose
The first whiff offers a delightful combination of ripe banana and pineapple, interwoven with hints of brown sugar and baking spices like allspice and clove. Underlying these brighter notes are the familiar aromas of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of oak, hinting at the whiskey’s foundation.
Palate
The initial burst on the palate delivers a wave of those tropical fruits, balanced by the rich sweetness of brown sugar and the warmth of baking spices. The underlying whiskey character emerges, presenting notes of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and hints of honey. The 114.2 proof provides a pleasant heat that lingers without overwhelming the other flavors.
Finish
The finish is remarkably smooth and long-lasting. The tropical fruit notes slowly fade, revealing a harmonious medley of caramel, baking spices, and the subtle tannins from the oak. As the whiskey opens up in the glass, additional complexities like hints of cocoa or smoky notes may emerge, offering a delightful surprise.
