  • The nose can’t quite match the vivaciousness of the flavors, but this is still a really fun blend, and one that feels quite apropos for the celebration of the holiday season.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet buttercream on the nose, honey, orange peel, cracked pepper, light barrel char, toffee and honey. There’s a lot going on here, primarily in the vein of dessert and baking spice.

  • Taste:

    Moderate palate that develops nicely full of sweet oak, pepper, toffee, a hint of cinnamon and a touch of orange peel and raisin bread.

  • Finish:

    Long finish on this pour with a good bit more oak than in previous New Year releases and a touch more fruit, as well, bringing more complexity forward than I’ve experienced with previous New Year releases. Orange peel, creamy vanilla, a touch of tobacco, char, cola, toffee and honey sees it off.

  • Overall:

    A great way to usher in 2024, this release demonstrates Barrell is adept at staying on its toes while releasing unique, multi-provenance whiskey blends all year long.

  • Score:

    88
