Nose
Candied orange and orange peel character with heavy caramel. Sweeter profile than Barrel 9 with syrupy aromatics. Butterscotch and butter rum lifesaver notes.
Palate
Sweet and syrupy with butterscotch, candied orange, and butter rum lifesaver character. Creamy and coating mouthfeel. Well-balanced despite higher proof, drinking smoother than the alcohol level suggests.
Finish
Lingering sweetness with butterscotch and candy notes carrying through. Smooth and refined finish for the proof.
Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A sweeter, more approachable variant of the 27-year expression that balances higher proof with butterscotch and candied notes, creating an indulgent yet refined sipper.
