Barrell Bourbon Seagrass Grey

The Seagrass Gray Label expression features 16-year-old Canadian rye whiskey, artfully finished in Martinique rum, Malmsey Madeira, and apricot brandy casks. This combination results in a nose rich with aromas of tropical fruits, honey, and a touch of maritime air. The palate offers a harmonious blend of sweet and savory notes, including ripe peaches, candied ginger, and a hint of salinity. The finish is long and complex, with lingering flavors of exotic fruits and subtle spice. Bottled at cask strength, Seagrass Gray Label provides a sophisticated and nuanced rye whiskey experience.
