Barrel King Knighted Bourbon....$139.99

• 113.4 proof
• Batch #92
• Proof 113.4 | ABV 56.7%
• 75%- 9 year and 11 year 36% rye, 25%- 4 ½ year Southern Distilling barrel. 
• Finished in Stagg Jr and toasted barrels.

Nose - Vanilla and marshmallow. The toasted barrel influence sings on the nose. The barrel char notes lend well into a strong reminder of toasted marshmallow. The sweet oak supports the main notes well as a nice undertone.
Palate - The palate on this bourbon is so interesting. It is definitely one you will want to sit with as it does drink very complexly in a wonderful way. Toasted notes ring through and loads of the vanilla carry in followed by a hint of Korean BBQ.
Finish- The finish rides on the back palate with the sweet and saucy note riding on the back of your tongue while the barrel char notes front load for a full experience. Such a great experience with this blend.

Barrel King SiB+ Winter 2024 Missouri Vault Release....$139.99

• S16.24 (barrel 50) SiB+
• Proof 104.5 | ABV 52.25%
• (11-year, 36% rye MGP single barrel with one gallon or less of 9-year, 36% rye MGP added prior to bottling)

Nose - Pears, oranges and caramel. A nice citrus up front that gives way to caramel and cocoa. The barrel influence barely peeks its head out here but it's not hard to find.
Palate - Heavy cocoa on the palate. It does fade quickly and lets the citrus notes push through and take the palate through. Chocolate covered oranges. Final answer.
Finish - Chocolate blooms back as an almost reversal of the palate to end the experience. Once it does finally fade, the age on the bourbon closes the curtain.
