What bourbons aspire to be. Sweet, spicy, singular. Hits of cloves, vanilla, brown sugar, and biscuit. Long, warm finish with sherry/honey flavors. One of the best long-aged bourbons under $100.

The Orphan Barrel series can be divisive but this is truly outstanding. Sour corn mash and yeast on the nose, very smooth and inviting likely owing to the lower proof. Creamy vanilla, a fruity component--possibly orange marmalade or sweet apricot. This is not a balls to the wall bourbon but a perfect Friday night quaff. Enjoy it on ice on the deck rather than fireside at midnight.

Barterhouse 20yr bourbon. Amazing. A slight sherry aftertaste.

Golden honey color. Marshmallow, brown sugar, vanilla, spice, mellow corn, hints of mint, caramel, and rich cinnamon. Long finish!

Smooth...vanilla and warm spices definitely linger around. Very pleased with the oak, not overpowering for a 20 year old bourbon. Enjoy neat or a couple drops of water
