Aged for a minimum of five years in ex-Bourbon barrels and then uniquely finished in wine barrels from Dave's Napa Valley Cabernet projects.

Water
The mature Whiskey is titrated to 88 proof with pure, pristine water from Dave's high elevation property in Alexander Valley in Northern California.

Mash Bill
95% Corn, 4% Rye, 1% Malted Barley

Profile
The first impression is rich and bold with aromas of maple wood, cardamom, buttery toast and black cherries. Impressive intensity on the palate with a plethora of honey, caramel, hazelnut and baked dark fruits. The finish is layered and complex.

91 Points - Whiskey Advocate:

"A sourced whiskey of 95% corn, finished in wine barrels from winemaker Dave Phinney. This makes a super first impression, with Bit-O-Honey candy, eucalyptus, black cherry, cinnamon hearts, violet candies, and sandalwood. The flavors pour layered and complex, with clove-studded orange, flickers of rye spice, and pure, crystalline sweetness balanced with lemony lift. Laser-like spice, sweet caramel corn, and more floral notes dance across the long finish."
