Islacalifa 5 yr Cherrywood Whiskey Single Malt 750 96pf Aged In American & French Oak Finished In Red Wine
Description: | History,. The name Islacalifa comes from the popular 16th century novel, The Adventures of Esplandin. In the book, Califa is the queen of an island made up of gold and pearls. This was a wildly popular story and came at a time when the Spanish were exploring the high seas, and charting the west coast of North America. From an exploring expedition sent by Hernan Cortes where they discovered the Baja peninsula, the explorers made a wild assumption that they found this terrestrial paradise much like the garden of Eden and that it was in fact an island. They named it California after Queen Califa. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Dark Chocolate, candied cherries, smoke and a hint of cinnamon. Palate: Cocoa nibs, slight salinity of Himalayan salt, stewed fruit and caramel hit up front with a smooth texture yielding to a firm yet balanced hit of toasty sweet oak that tickles the palate for a lingering long finish |
