Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Seagrass 16 Year Old Rye Whiskey 130.82 Proof

Description

Appearance: Worn leather.

Nose: Incredibly fruity, the nose opens with strawberry salt-water taffy,
Bing cherry, and raspberry but more exotic fruits lurk in the depths:
prickly pear, lychee, blood orange, grapefruit marmalade, damson plum, even tomato.
The fruits nearly overpower subtle herbaceous notes of pizzelle, Maraschino liqueur, Cynar, and pipe tobacco.
Its sweetness is kept in check by a hint of paraffin and scorched earth.

Palate: As fruity as the nose, exhibiting strawberry and rose jam, lychee,
Maraschino liqueur, and calvados, balanced by très leches cake, hibiscus, and angelica.

Finish: The theme continues on slowly evolving fruit: guava, watermelon,
Pink Lady apples; they’re joined by a paraffin touch from the nose and a spicy signature of candied chili pepper.
