Bold baking spice on the nose, combined with peanut brittle, peanut butter, toffee, honey and a fat stack of sweet tobacco.
Pleasant and sweet, packed with caramel, honey and tobacco. Pepper, peanut brittle. This is like Knob Creek Single Barrel with a few less years on it in profile, and it’s amazing how much oak and toffee there are for the wheated mashbill.
Big, woody finish that’s full of caramel, tobacco, peanut butter and butterscotch.
Overall, this single barrel is batting well for a relatively new operation (Southern Distilling was founded in 2013), and the proof helps tremendously. It’s like a younger Knob Creek Single Barrel, and that’s nothing but a compliment.
