You’ve acquired handy it to the oldsters at Barrell Craft Spirits; they give you some fascinating names for his or her particular releases. Then once more, most of their merchandise get launched into the world as only a batch quantity, so once they do get an opportunity to flex some artistic muscle, it needs to be memorable. First, we had Dovetail, then Armida, and now, Seagrass. Why Seagrass? I’ll let Barrell clarify that one:
“Barrell Seagrass is an ode to coastal reminiscences, blended to evoke the enjoyment of a day on the seashore and a night listening to the soothing rhythm of waves. Scorching solar, brisk air, dry sand, and oceanside vegetation are dropped at thoughts. A ripe and welcoming tropical nostril and grassy, vivid physique evolve to a end so long as the view down the shore on a transparent day.”
What precisely is on this “ode to coastal reminiscences” you ask? Effectively, it’s a mix of rye whiskey distilled in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Canada completed in casks that beforehand held Martinique rhum agricole, apricot brandy, and Madeira wine. Sounds about as wacky and flavor-filled as earlier particular releases. Let’s see the way it stacks up!
The aroma is grassy, as marketed, however there’s nothing sharp or overly vegetal to make {that a} dangerous factor. Quite the opposite, there’s a number of silky sweetness, largely of the stone fruit and mulled wine selection, that enhances these salty, greener notes, making for one of the crucial participating noses I’ve but encountered from Barrell Craft Spirits. The palate is initially dominated by juicy apricot and candied peach, giving issues a beneficiant, syrupy brightness that’s properly complemented by a daring, however not overbearing, rye spice. The fruit recedes into the mid-palate, permitting the mix of ryes at its core to showcase extra their cinnamon sugar, licorice, and dried herb notes. The end is beneficiant however drying with oak and fading reminders of candy orchard fruit. Like Barrell’s different particular editions, this factor is a taste curler coaster. Undoubtedly definitely worth the value of admission.
