WhistlePig The Old World Series: Madeira Finish Rye Whiskey was the first American rye whiskey to ever be finished in such casks.Sauternes is a famous, sweet white wine produced in the French region of Bordeaux. The regions unique microclimate, which consists of thick morning fog and hot, dry afternoons, causes a noble rot to grow on the grapes, imparting its signature flavor unto the wine.Port, another fortified Portuguese wine, is produced in the Douro Valley, in Portugals northern provinces. Similar to brandy, port is rich, sweet and known for its robust flavor.Once the rye has matured in its respective cask, the barrels are married together, giving the whiskey a breathtaking aroma filled with marzipan, ripe berries and salted caramel. The palate expands with flavors of dark chocolate, taffy, fruitcake and sugar cereal before leading to a long, dry finish which lingers on the tongue.WhistlePig The Old World Series: Straight Rye Whiskey Marriage won a Double Gold at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. |
