Oloroso Sherry Cask Finished Four Grain Bourbon

North Carolina spirits company Oaklore Distilling Co. just announced its latest whiskey release in its Oaklore Story Series: Oloroso Sherry Cask Finished Four Grain Bourbon (SRP: $99.95 for 750-ml.) is now available in a very limited release, with only 750 bottles for purchase.

Bottled at 95 proof, this six-year-old, non-chill filtered small batch bourbon is a fresh take on Oaklore’s original Four Grain Bourbon, according to the distillery, creating a new flavor by finishing in Spanish Oloroso Sherry Casks. It features aromas of dried fig, raisin and vintage wine coupled with cherry bark, cocoa and apricot on the palate.

For this Story Series release, the whiskey makers start with their traditional four grain bourbon, according to the distillery, which is crafted by Oaklore at the brand’s sister distilleries in North Carolina and Kentucky. Distilled on 24-inch Vendome all-copper column stills, the Four Grain Bourbon uses “the big four” American Whiskey grains (corn, wheat, barley & rye). The whiskey has a mash bill of 70% corn, 10% rye, 10% wheat and 10% malted barley.

“National Bourbon Heritage Month feels like as good a time as ever for folks to try a smaller American Whiskey that represents a lesser known, but emerging whiskey-producing state like North Carolina – whether that’s our original Four Grain Bourbon or this special Oloroso Sherry Finished Cask Finished expression,” said Oaklore co-founder and master blender Tom Bogan in a news release.

The spirit is available for purchase across Oaklore’s online shop, in the brand’s tasting room and at select retailers across North Carolina.
