Sample during Blarney Wine Festival 2025 on 03/15/2025. Dark mahogany-brown color with a thin light beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bourbon, oak, dark fruit and caramel. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, fig, chocolate and walnut. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Holding up well at 11 years old, still a good Barley Wine all around.

This is even better from a (quite) fresh bottle compared to an aged one.

Double whammy! This followed the FW Stickee Monkee. Alcohol burn apparent, but not overpowering. Pure barley essence, aroma and taste. A real gem.2014, 2015 & 2016 versions rated.
