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 fourth finish, our distillers revisited the famous Port style - this time selecting White Port casks from the Carrazeda de Ansiães region of Portugal’s famous Douro Valley. Known for its high growing elevations and steep inclines, this small growing region within the Douro Valley yields ports with rich & fruity aromatic complexity - boasting sweet notes of honey, vanilla and stone fruit. To highlight and enhance the qualities of these finishing barrels, our distillers brought together a custom blend of 3 bourbon mash bills, including a coveted wheated bourbon recipe, which contains 3 varieties of toasted & roasted wheat malts. Aged for over 5 years - including 2 years in the White Port casks - the result showcases a dynamic balance between the flavors of confectionary-sweet malt & luscious ripe fruit - highlighting the best of both whiskey & wine.
