Barrell Whiskey Private Release BH12 Finished In A Hermann J. Wiemer Noble Select Magdalena Vineyard Riesling Barrel 750 ml

Barrell Whiskey Private Release BH12 is a custom whiskey release from Barrell Craft Spirits finished in a barrel that previously held Hermann J. Wiemer's Noble Select dessert Riesling from the Magdalena Vineyard in New York's Finger Lakes. That botrytized dessert-wine finish layers honeyed, apricot-driven sweetness on top of Barrell's typically bold, full-proof whiskey base. Expect a nose of honey, stone fruit and oak, a palate that's rich and sweet with baking spice and a distinct Riesling-driven fruitiness, and a long, complex finish. It's built for whiskey drinkers who enjoy unusual dessert-wine cask finishes.

How to drink Barrell BH12

Neat, in a Glencairn, lets the Riesling finish's honeyed fruit come through clearly against the whiskey's full-proof backbone.
