We took Prologos (a blend of barleywines that were aged in multiple small format bourbon barrels) and transferred that blend to a freshly-dumped select Heaven Hill bourbon barrel back in April for an additional half year of rest.

500mL 2023 bottle drunk 2/18/24. Bright, clear, deep amber with little/no head. Nose is rich, long, intense English Barleywine notes of raisin, toffee, vanilla. Throw a bit of more acidic red fruit in there and add a dash of barrel character to help tone down the malt intensity. Sweet, mega-malty, soft, luxurious. Toffee-vanilla-raisin with a bit of creme brulée on the finish. Just a bit too sweet for me, though only just barely. Wish there was just a bit more balancing barrel character, but it's nice to see a more OG Barleywine done and done well

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is dark fruit, toffee, bourbon, wood. Slick body, caramel, vanilla, fig, wood, bourbon, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.
