Barrell Bourbon (Batch 26) Review

Barrell's 26th release contains a blend of 9-, 10-, 11-, 13-, and 15-year-old bourbons, from Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana. The mastery of blending is evident through its flavorful, harmonious profile, which serves a medley of fresh and dried fruits built around a rich, sweet core. This is quintessential cask-strength bourbon.
