Nose
Oak-forward with the same familiar Barton character as the 14-year.
Palate
Bold freshly cracked black pepper spice with Dr. Pepper and peanut notes. Deep caramel on the mid-palate with good body and presence from the elevated proof.

Warm and dry with pronounced woodsy tannins and lingering pepper spice.

The proof bump elevates this expression into a sweet spot where oak, spice, and caramel notes are well-balanced and satisfying.
