Red River Finished In Pinot Noir Casks Texas Bourbon Whiskey

“A proprietary blend of corn, rye and barley fermented; aged in new, charged American oak barrels and then finished in Napa Valley Pinot Noir casks.” Lots of wood on the nose, along with some notes of beef brisket, but quite a bit more subdued than the typical Texas bourbon experience. Some cinnamon and allspice notes are also evident on the nose. The palate surprises by immediately revealing itself as quite sweet, with notes of butter cookies, vanilla, Mexican chocolate, and banana pudding all in a swirl — a few of which I’d probably credit the wine cask for. The more savory elements on the nose don’t really reappear here, instead leaving room for a wood-heavy conclusion that folds in notes of licorice and bitter roots. It’s a bit of a wild ride and quite a confusing experience, but still a fairly worthwhile one. 82.4 proof.
