Zinfandel Aged After 6 Years (1 of 2)
This whiskey aged for six years and three months in
a new American white oak barrel before it was rebarreled into a used American oak Zinfandel barrel.
There it was aged for another eight years, making it
a total of 14 years old. The expected wine fruitiness
is absent in the initial palate, but is replaced with an
exciting spiciness. It is not the rye-grain spice normally
associated with bourbon, but a grape-vine herbal
quality that slides across the tongue and lingers for
what seems like forever. This is an epic whiskey with
grandeur and grace. Old world quaffing of a vine and
field mélange
