Master’s Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley: A Harmonious Balance of Flavors

The Master’s Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley is a limited-edition, small-batch bourbon that showcases the art of innovative whiskey-making. This exceptional spirit is part of a prestigious series that celebrates the mastery of craft distillation.

The Story Behind the Whiskey:

This unique bourbon is the result of a collaboration between expert distillers and master craftsmen. The journey began with the selection of the finest cherry wood, carefully chosen for its rich, fruity flavor profile. The wood was then smoked to perfection, infusing the barley with a deep, velvety smoothness.

The Whiskey-Making Process:

The Master’s Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley is crafted using a proprietary blend of grains, featuring a high percentage of smoked barley. The grains are carefully milled and cooked to create a rich, sweet mash. The fermentation process is slow and deliberate, allowing the natural yeast and bacteria to develop a complex flavor profile.

Aging and Maturation:

The whiskey is then aged for a minimum of 8 years in charred American white oak barrels, carefully selected to enhance the whiskey’s natural flavors. The barrels are stored in a temperature-controlled warehouse, where the whiskey is regularly monitored to ensure optimal maturation.

Tasting Notes:

• Smoked Cherry: The initial notes of smoked cherry wood are unmistakable, with a deep, fruity flavor that’s both sweet and tangy.
• Caramel and Vanilla: The whiskey’s rich, velvety texture is complemented by notes of caramel and vanilla, adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
• Oak and Spice: The charred American white oak barrels impart a subtle oakiness, balanced by a hint of warm spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Smooth, Long Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with the smoked cherry wood notes lingering pleasantly on the palate.
