I’m with you on Apprentices Batch. It had more heat and less flavor than it should have had in my opinion. It lacked the sweetness I would have preferred to balance the heat. Seems out of balance on the blend. This batch probably needs a bit of ice and if I try it again, it will be over ice.
The Barrell New Year was definitely a star along with the Basil Hayden.
I am becoming a big fan of Barrell.
