“110-proof KY bourbon finished in Ammunition's own Sonoma Cabernet barrels”
Tasting notes
- nose
- dry cedar, dark berry and plum, black pepper, burnt sugar, Cabernet tannin over classic bourbon caramel
- palate
- Luxardo cherry, black raspberry, charred oak, dark chocolate, dry wine-cask edge that keeps 110 from turning syrupy
- finish
- baking spice, leather, lingering dry heat
Mash bill
- Corn70%
- Rye20%
- Malted barley10%
Published special mash of 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley - a classic high-enough-rye Kentucky bourbon recipe that still leaves room for the Cabernet finish to speak. Daylight does not name heirloom varieties or farm partners; the grain story is the traditional KY triad tuned for caramelized corn sweetness, rye spice, and malt backbone before wine wood takes over.
- Cask
- New charred American oak; finish in ex-Ammunition Cabernet French Bordeaux barrels
- Finish
