Middle West Spirits Double Cask Collection Sherry Cask Finished-Bourbon Review
This Columbus, Ohio distillery uses soft red winter wheat and dark pumpernickel rye (alongside non-GMO yellow corn and 2-row barley) in their six-year-old bourbon. It is initially aged in toasted and charred American oak barrels before finishing in solera sherry casks. The nose is cherries jubilee while the palate offers plums, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and red wine. The finish is felt, but thankfully never takes over.
