Russian River Pinot Cask
NEW RELEASE
Barrel Finishing Series: Russian River Pinot Cask Finished
Our limited edition finishing series celebrates the union of Tennessee High Malt into a variety of classic finishing casks. Crafted from a combination of unique mash bills – each containing at least 25% specialty malt - each batch is made to complement the flavor characteristics of the finishing barrel.
For our fifth finish, our distillers revisited California wine - this time selecting pinot noir casks from the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Known for its foggy, cool, coastal climate, this small growing region of the north coast yields wines with vibrant fruit and subtle spice characteristics - boasting notes of cherry, berry, and kola nut.
To highlight and enhance the qualities of these finishing barrels, our distillers brought together a custom blend of 5 bourbon mash bills. In addition to our classic wheated and roasted mash bills, this blend includes a one-off version of our Barrel 91 recipe distilled at higher proofs – producing a delicate and lively fruit character.
Aged for over 4 years - including 6 months in the pinot noir casks - the result showcases a dynamic balance between the flavors of roasted malt and bright fruit - highlighting the best of both whiskey and wine.
