Review & Tasting Notes
FINISHED IN OLOROSO SHERRY WINE BARRELS
We sourced premium French oak barrels from the Bordeaux region of France which were seasoned with Oloroso Sherry in Jerez, Spain for over a year—introducing fruit notes along with the nutty, tobacco flavor profile characteristic of Oloroso Sherry. These barrels offered a distinctive richness to our five-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, which finished in them for up to 16 months.
