Barrell Vantage Bourbon American Bourbon Whiskey

Isabella Rossi — A bit hot for my taste

6/10

I can appreciate the craft here but at 56.7% it's just a bit too aggressive for what I like in a bourbon. There's good stuff underneath — vanilla, stone fruit, some chocolate — but the heat overshadows it even with water. Not bad, just not for me.

Helena Kosta — Great with a single ice cube

8/10

On the rocks this thing is fantastic. The ice tames the proof just enough and brings out this lovely butterscotch and dark fruit character. My wife even liked it and she normally won't touch bourbon. Barrell know what they're doing.

Samir Patel — Decent pour, steep price

7/10

It's a well-made bourbon with nice caramel and cherry notes and a dry oak finish. My issue is the price — north of £90 puts it against some stiff competition. I'd buy it again on sale but probably not at full whack.

Camila Ortiz — Punches above its price

8/10

For a blend of straight bourbons at cask strength, this is seriously well put together. Big caramel and dried cherry on the nose, with a spicy cinnamon finish that lingers. I sip it neat and it drinks easier than 56.7% has any right to.

Luna Chavez — Punches above its price
