Barrel 1
Nose is sweet with little to no burn. Softly corny, but a little more fruitied with cherry and apple. Slightly fermented but good. Soft warm leather. Palate is hot, chewy body - cinnamon and continuing nutty. Way too hot and dry.
Barrel 2
Nose is a bit brighter with a pop of citrus, bread, and slightly alcohol bite. Palate is hot - syrupy body but lots of honey. Really buttery, caramel, delicious grassiness. Long slow finish with little to no bite.
Barrel 3
Nose is the most interesting. Deep honey, no burn at all, deep fruit, gentle citrus and grass.
Creamy - floral forward, but spiced finish. Lots of continual heat which I don’t love but man the front of the palate is special. Nutty as it finishes.
Barrel 4
Nose is a little more leather but not fermented. Better than 1. Honey. Not a lot else. Palate is a bit astringent up front and continuing nutty on. Get rid of it.
