500 ml bottle into a snifter. Released late 2019, had 3/19/21.
Pours a medium amber color, somewhat cloudy, with no real head and some spotty cling. Aromas of caramel, rye whiskey, red wine, malt, oak, brown sugar, light tobacco. Pretty much the same flavors- rye whiskey, caramel, malt, brown sugar, some red wine, some oak. Smooth, a very good medium body, appropriately carbonated.
The whiskey barrels stand out, the base barleywine is solid if a bit plain, the wine barrels are a good compliment. Overall, a good blend and very enjoyable.
