I’ll have to find this one. Likely won’t be cheap, but...
Batch #11 is the classic Whiskey War Double Oaked finished in anadditional Pinot Noir cask, for a total age statement of 6 years. Master Distiller Adam Hines speaks to why this might be his favorite release since Double Double Oaked Batch #1 was released.
Our Barrel Select program is one of our our distillery team’s creative outlets. We get to experiment with unique barrels, taste through the product at various stages of the aging process and release out one-of-a-kind products to our audience who love to try new things.
Our distiller Mike Smith’s favorite releases to date have been Barrel Select Batch #2 Pinot Noir and Batch #9 2nd-Fill Pinot Noir. This barrel still had so much flavor to give so we decided to fill it again, this time our Double Oaked product. This is the first time we have taken our award-winning Double Oaked product and finished it in a wine cask.
The flavor was shocking in the best way. It brings in the spice and oak from the Double Oaked and buttery, berry notes from the wine. It’s awesome to see our team effort come to fruition with such a unique result.
