Orphan Barrel Barterhouse 20 Year Bourbon
Barterhouse is a 20 year old bourbon, bottled at 45.1% abv in Tennessee at a Diageo property that has been very much in the news lately due to a clash between Diageo and Brown-Forman, namely George Dickel.
he honey and vanilla are the dominant presences here. You can taste the oak but it is definitely not overly oaky and there is a spice note that keeps it the whiskey from being too sweet. Barterhouse has a dry finish, and I found it smoothly un-woody for 20 yr old, with an almost rum raisin finish. The taste stays dry with the addition of water but gets a little sweeter and a little more floral.
