WWS 12 YO Reserve Collection finished in Oloroso Sherry cask

In this exquisite WWS Reserve expression, the marriage of bourbon and Oloroso Sherry cask aging creates a truly unique and unforgettable tasting experience, perfect for savoring and sharing with whiskey enthusiasts.

Sourced from Heaven Hill Distillery and boasting a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley, the 12-year aging process has imparted a remarkable smoothness and refinement to our classic Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

The whiskey opens with decadent scents that showcase its Oloroso Sherry cask finish, adding a layer of complexity.

Notes of red berries and cherry tarts dance out the glass and are joined with a subtle brownie batter note along with more traditional notes of oak, vanilla bean, and peppercorn.

The midpoint starts with a burst of red berries before transitioning to drier notes, which helps temper the sweetness.

The sip ends highlighting the time the bourbon spent in oak and focuses on drier notes of oak and leather intermingled with faint berries and cream and a light rye spice that leaves a lasting impression.

 

Oloroso Sherry is a type of fortified wine produced near the city of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. Oloroso is an oxidatively ripened sherry made from palomino grapes. This type of sherry is typically full-bodied, strong and dry.
