Caleb’s Crossing Dual Cask Finish Bourbon

As I was crafting the inaugural release of the Dual Cask Series, it was important that the spirit retained its bourbon identity, yet at the same time showcased the sweeter, grape-forward aspects of Pineau des Charentes and the dried fruit and leather attributes of Armagnac. After some trial and error, a combination of two high-rye bourbon recipes moving separately from Pineau casks to Armagnac casks proved the solution. Slow proofing was employed over a seven-month period and the blending reserved for the final weeks with no water added after the casks were emptied. The result is a flavorful whiskey with cask-strength complexity at a comfortable, yet ample proof. Caleb’s Crossing Dual Cask Finish Bourbon is perfect for neat sipping or as an accompaniment to your favorite cigar.
