Amador Chardonnay Barrel Finished Bourbon Whiskey
Description
In their unwavering quest for sheer brilliance, Amador Whiskey Company forges alliances with elite distillers to curate luxury whiskies in limited, prized batches. Emerging as a beacon of this commitment is Amador's Double Barrel – an embodiment of traditional low rye bourbon, aged to perfection over three years in fresh charred American oak barrels. This foundation instills rich nuances of vanilla, black cherry, and caramel. Its journey further unfolds, refined in the embrace of medium-toast French oak Cabernet barrels for nearly a year, adding layers of vanilla and unparalleled silkiness. The artful "double barrel" maturation culminates in a tapestry of flavors, interweaving the essences of each barrel into a bourbon that transcends its components. Bearing the marks of its heritage, this Double Barrel Kentucky Bourbon, accentuated with a Cabernet finish, boasts a distinguished mash bill: 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% barley.
