Tasting Notes:

Double Barreling Discovery 13 in Hungarian Oak takes the classic flavors of this blend—caramel, vanilla, and dry fruit—and layers them with complex notes of baking spice, campfire ash, clove, cinnamon, and toffee. This rare combination produces something special to celebrate the intrigue of #13.

Awards/Reviews:

Grade: A (Drinkhacker)

"Top notes of light roast coffee and milk chocolate lead to an exceptionally rich aroma of baking spice, Demerara sugar, toffee and dark caramel, big, sweet layers of toffee and sticky vanilla bean. On the palate, the double-barreling is more noticeable and enduring with an entry of dark cherry, vanilla cream, and Tootsie Rolls that gives way to a warm, well-spiced midpalate of clove syrup, cinnamon apples, and toasted oak. The mouthfeel, round and plush, is a particular highlight, and as with so many BBCo. offerings, the higher proof is barely noticed. The finish is where the Hungarian oak seems to really shine, delivering a generous fadeout of mocha, chicory, and even a little pipe tobacco alongside some brighter cocktail cherry and baking spice."
