Description

Crafted by a 12th generation master distiller, this whiskey is matured in French oak wine barrels and chardonnay casks.

Amador Ten Barrels Straight Hop-Flavored Whiskey is made from a marriage of 60% straight malt whiskey and 40% hop-flavored whiskey. The hop-flavored whiskey is crafted from Racer 5 IPA, a craft beer brewed by the Bear Republic Brewery. The IPA is full-bodied, and contributes a malty hoppiness to the whiskey without overwhelming the whiskey’s flavor profile.

Distillery Information

Amador Whiskey Co. Double Barrel Bourbon began its journey in Kentucky, where almost 300 barrels of 3- to 10-year bourbons aging in charred American oak were purchased. These barrels traveled to St. Helena, California, where Amador Whiskey Co (owned by Trinchero Family Estates) transfers the bourbon into the family’s Napa Valley wine barrels for an extra 6 months of finishing.
