Orphan Barrel Rhetoric Bourbon 21 Year (750ml) Belgian Strong Pale Ale but then the persistence onFirm spice, botanicals, and dried fruit delivered on a bed of caramel. Theres a kiss of honey to marry with the resinous oak grip, with polished leather and a hint of tobacco on the finish. This whiskey does indeed show its age with the oak presence (much more than Barterhouse), but the sweet notes make a valiant effort to keep the wood influence in check. Whisky Advocate
