The journey of this exceptional Dareringer offering spans two continents and three dedicated families. It began when I designated an older stock of the same wheated bourbon used to make our coveted Dareringer Bourbon. It was aged in our signature toasted and charred new American Oak barrels. Toasting the barrel over a natural wood fire at a lower temperature slows the barrel-making process but yields a bourbon of unequaled complexity and flavor.”

Wheated Bourbon Finished in PX Sherry Casks at Cask Strength

This super-premium Straight Bourbon Whiskey is carefully crafted by taking fine wheated bourbon aged in alligator char barrels and resting it in hand-made Pedro Ximenez Sherry Casks from Spain’s renown Casknolia Cooperage. We then intimately blend no more than fifteen barrels to produce our desired flavor profile – a true small batch. Every step we take in our whiskey-making process is intentional. When a spirit is made with this kind of love there’s nothing to hide, so we forgo any chill filtering providing you with the most authentic barrel to bottle flavor in the market at cask strength.
