Whiskey Review: Barlow Trail American Blended Whiskey

There’s definitely more in the caramel-vanilla area here, but the palate isn’t as sugary as the nose. I notice a substantial ripe cherry note on the mid-palate. The finish is quite pleasant, with loads of warm cinnamon and allspice. The texture is rather oily. Final Thoughts and Score: While I’d appreciate a little more information on what went into this whiskey, it’s still quite a well-executed blend. The spice-fueled finish begs to be paired with gingerbread or carrot cake, or perhaps mixed into a Manhattan. It also has to be said that $35 for a whiskey this solid is quite an attractive price.
