What Our Editors Thought

“Reassuring nutty caramel notes in the aroma with a slight floral flair and the requisite bourbon boost. Refined in the sip with a luxurious but taut texture.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Caramel and toffee notes are countered by oak-forward vanilla notes and an impression of booziness in the nose. Flavor notes align with the aroma with a healthy boozy note countering the rich, layered, malty sweetness. A decadent but uncomplicated sipper.”

What the Brewers Say

“English barleywine aged in bourbon barrels for 16 months.”
