AN AMERICAN APPROACH TO A EUROPEAN TRADITION
We take our four-year-old Rocky Mountain Single Malt and then transfer it to PX and Oloroso Sherry Barrels to cask finish. Procured from the Andalusia region of southern Spain, these sherry barrels have a depth of flavor soaked into the ancient oak staves.
PROCESS & PROFILE
Stranahan’s Sherry Cask whiskey is double-distilled 100% malted barley, aged 4 years in virgin American white oak barrels; then transferred to PX and Oloroso Sherry barrels from southern Spain to cask finish. It is aromatic with sweet notes of dried fruits such as raisins, figs and dates, accompanied by the aromas of honey, grape syrup, jam and candied fruit. Its flavors are reminiscent of chocolate, coffee and raisins from the PX barrels mixed with caramel, nutty, and fruity flavors from the Oloroso barrels. Best enjoyed neat, with a splash of water or in cocktails.
NOSE: Raisins, figs, dates, honey, grape syrup, jam and candied fruit.
PALATE: Honey, Montmorency cherries, blackcurrant, and fig, with a nutty brine and walnut characteristics.
FINISH: Buttery caramel, whipped creme, brown sugar and smoked cayenne.
