Cabernet red wine barrels bring structure and dark-toned warmth; Sauternes wine barrels, the revered sweet wine from Bordeaux, add a soft, golden richness. Together they shape an elegant, sophisticated whiskey with a long, measured finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rich-text__heading rte h1\"\u003e125.24 Proof\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rich-text__heading rte h1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eDelicately balancing Kentucky whiskey with Canadian has produced enormous fruity complexity and earthy depth without being drowned out by oak. The finishing casks are subtle and well-integrated, bringing out different characteristics of the distillate. This is a rich and syrupy whiskey that smells of pawpaw and cherry pie and tastes of apricot jam and a Belgian Tripel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eNose: A fistful of gummy bears with a whole jumble of different fruit notes. They start bright and simple: green apple, peach, cranberry. With time, they soften and commingle with the whiskey revealing pina colada, key lime pie, and Christmas fruitcake. Beneath all the exuberant honey and eucalyptus lies a trace of umami.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003ePalate: Sauternes has tugged the profile in the direction of honey, Mirabelle plum, and pollen. The oak is unobtrusive and allows a creamy, mellow distillate to predominate in the form of coconut milk, roasted chestnut, and Belgian Tripel-style beer. A touch of acidity reinforces notes of fresh apple and watermelon candy to keep it tasting bright.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eFinish: Fresher fruit notes like Rainier cherry, white currant, and gooseberry. There’s a bit of resin lingering, the hops from that Tripel, a kiss of gentian, and a wisp of incense. As the fruit evaporates, it leaves behind the mineral prickle of chalk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWith a splash of spring water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe whiskey really starts to show its age here, gaining depth and an expanding earthy side. The fruits appear paradoxically more concentrated, such as apricot jam, golden raisin and orange creamsicle. The palate, no longer checked by heat, is almost liqueur-like in thickness. The cabernet notes float to the fore as hibiscus, pomegranate, and plum paste. Black pepper and graphite also bridge the gap between wine and whiskey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PACIFIC EDGE WINE \u0026 SPIRITS","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":53207167140205,"sku":null,"price":189.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/cab_20sauvignon_20shop.webp?v=1775689839","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/barrell-18-yr-whiskey-finished-in-cabernet-sauvignon-and-sauternes-barrels-750-ml","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
