| Description: | James Oliver Whiskey Collection James Oliver American Whiskey 750 Ml James Oliver Rye Whiskey 750 Ml James Oliver Rye Whiskey Aged for four years, this rye whiskey earned a score of 90 points from the Beverage Testing Institute. James Oliver Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of 100% rye grains, which are mashed and fermented before being distilled through a copper pot still. Following distillation, the whiskey is aged in new, American oak casks with a #4 char. Typically, the degree of charring within a cask is measured on a scale of one to four, with a #1 char referring to casks that have been slightly toasted, and a #4 char referring to casks that have been charred so heavily that the interior resembles an alligator hide (the latter are nicknamed alligator-charred casks).After a four year beauty rest in alligator-charred casks, James Oliver Rye is brought to proof and bottled by hand in Oregon. James Oliver Rye Whiskey has a golden amber color, along with an aroma of granola, greek yogurt, rye and peppercorn. Notes of spicy grains, buttered dough and roasted nuts dominate the palate, and give way to a finish accented by notes of black pepper and honeyed nuts. The whiskey earned a score of 90 points from the Beverage Testing Institute, which called it "exceptional." One of the legal Requirements for a product to be called Bourbon is that it has to age in new oak casks. That is the only functional difference between James Oliver American Whiskey and legal Bourbon. James Oliver American Whiskey 100% American Whiskey which is double barreled in bourbon and sherry barrels. Flavors of creamy toasted oats, caramel and oakâ86 proof. Right there on the label it says Bourbon Barrel Aged which means that it is aged in used barrels that had already been used to age Bourbon. James Oliver comes out of the Indio Spirits Company in Portland, Oregon.They have a very wide range of specialty spirit brands. They age, infuse, and mix them there, but that the spirits are distilled in other places (mgp in Indiana and others in Bards Town, Kentucky).That said, it is a solid offering. But James Oliver won the Best American Whiskey gold medal last year at the International Whiskey Competition. You pick up the high Rye formula right away with spice on the nose. On the palate it is medium bodied with the caramel, vanilla, and corn of a solid Bourbon. The finish is smoother than a Rye, but spicier than a Bourbon. All in all rather pleasant. |
