This year, we did something different - we hand-picked four Old Fitzgerald Bourbon barrels for this Santa's Brass limited blend. Weighing in at 14.8% ABV, notes of vanilla, caramel, marshmallow, and bourbon spice dominate the aromatics, with an ethereal presence on the palate and a lingering flavor of vanilla, cherry cordial, CaCao nibs, and baking spice.

Very similar to the Heaven Hill variant, but a tad bit better. Pours reddish brown. Aroma is a nice combination of molasses, toffe and whiskey. Nice sweetness and a bit more pronounced then the Heaven Hill variant. Taste is a great combination of brown sugar, toffee, molasses and the bourbon. Tradition barleywine mouthfeel. Wonderful barleywine.
