2nd fill American Single Malt barrel

62.45% Alc/Vol

This 6 year old American Single Malt from Copperworks Distilling Co. starts with white raspberries and golden raisins. It then takes you to the sweet creaminess of a crème brûlée. The finish is like a Sauternes with just a touch of amaretto.

New oak barrel, toasted, not charred

63.3% Alc/Vol

This 5 year old American Single Malt from Blinking Owl Distillery was aged in new white oak, toasted, but not charred. The opening plunge into maraschino cherries coated with dark chocolate is quickly joined by incense cedar, brown sugar, and leather. All of these are carried into a rich finish with the addition of tobacco and stewed rhubarb.

New oak barrel, heavy char

61.15% Alc/Vol

Chocolate (heavily roasted) malted barley is most often used in brewing dark beers, but this 5 year old whiskey from Heritage Distilling Co. was distilled from a mash bill of 10% chocolate malted barley and 90% unmalted barley. The result is a complex variety of chocolates, peach cobbler, and sandalwood. The intense childhood pleasure of eating brownie mix has been distilled!

Washington State ex-red wine barrel finish

2Bar Spirits makes an excellent bourbon. Some of it they finish in Washington State red wine barrels. This cask blends the flavors of fresh-baked strawberry pie and spiced strawberry mead into the gingerbread and cedar campfire of their delicious bourbon.

New White American Oak barrel, toasted and medium char

Mesquite is used for barbecue wood in southwestern states. In a process very similar to the way peat smoke is used in Scotch Whiskey, Santa Fe Spirits makes excellent use of mesquite to smoke their American Single Malt. The delicious mesquite smoke just rolls out of this 6 year old cask, along with apricot marmalade on wheat toast, and the aroma of a leather armchair in a very old library.
