Red Wine Cask
AGE: 7 YR | CASK TYPE: AMERICAN OAK #3 CHAR
THE STORY
The Red Wine Cask is an American Single Malt crafted from a marriage of seven year-old whiskeys, with a minimum of three years spent in casks that previously held Bordeaux and Pinot Noir.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of tarragon, lemon fresca, banana bread, and vanilla wafer evolve into hints of white peach juice, peach cobbler, and orange creamsicle on the palate. The finish is round and fluffy like marshmallow, before a late linger of red wine dryness re-primes the palate superbly.
EXPERIMENTAL SERIES
Only available at the Stranahan’s, and you can taste each of the current expressions in our Distiller’s Experimental Guided Whiskey Tasting
AVAILABLE NOW

TASTING NOTES
