"A barrel can have many lives. Whatever liquid rested within its staves leaves an impression that will impart a subtle influence on the next. This is the magic of barrel finishing- the chance to enhance and transform the familiar into something new and unexpected." - Lee Medoff, Head Distiller

Tasting Notes: This Pinot Noir Finished American Whiskey shows eucalyptus with a hint of mint up front. The palate leads to creamy vanilla and slight tobacco notes. It finishes like a dry red wine. With the added level of dryness from the residual wine character, the whiskey benefits from a few drops of water or a single large cube of ice. Try pairing it with Bing cherries, bittersweet chocolate, and oranges.
