Process & Profile

Amador Whiskey Co. Chardonnay Barrel Finish Whiskey is a distinctive wheated bourbon that bridges Kentucky tradition and Napa Valley innovation. Distilled in Kentucky from a mash bill of 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley, the whiskey first matures in new charred American oak barrels before being transferred to French oak barrels previously used to age Napa Valley Chardonnay. The wine cask influence adds creamy texture and delicate fruit undertones, creating a smooth and nuanced whiskey that highlights both bourbon depth and wine-country elegance.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Vanilla cream, toasted almond, and caramel with subtle notes of pear and honey.

• Palate: Soft and rounded with butterscotch, toffee, and hints of white chocolate, balanced by light oak and spice.

• Finish: Silky and lingering with sweet vanilla, oak tannin, and traces of baked apple.
