Barrel Craft Spirits 12 Year French Oak Finish
108.5 proof 12 years Bourbon Barrel Craft Spirits $159.99

Burnt caramel with a subtle burn; nutty and woody without prominent fruitiness; creamy French vanilla bean.

Creamy, sweet, and velvety with dominant French vanilla; soft tannin structure characteristic of French oak; a hint of nuttiness on entry that transitions to pure sweetness across the mid-palate; gentle bitter oak note on the back palate.

A slight nip or tannin on the finish that's soft and refined; the French oak contributes elegant bitterness without harshness.

Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A beautifully balanced 12-year expression with a deceptive nose that gives way to a creamy, vanilla-forward palate—the French oak finish adds sophistication and restraint.
