Santa Ana, California | 5 Years | 66.3% ABV WARNING: This whiskey doesn't exist anymore. The distillery that made it? Closed forever. The new oak barrel they matured this whiskey i n is so unusual that people guess it's sherry-finished when it's not. Here's the story of how we rescued 200 bottles from extinction. This California gem used toasted (not charred) new oak, creating extraordinary wood spice that mimics rich, intense sherry maturation without a single sherry barrel in sight. From a beautiful distillery that couldn't survive the pandemic, these bottles preserve their legacy forever. Tasting Experience: Nose: Dark chocolate covered cherries, baking spices, incense cedarPalate: Cherry cordials, bitter dark chocolate, toasted nutsFinish: Leather armchair, fried sage, long and warming Rated: 90/100 (by Serge Valentin of whiskyfun.com) Show more
