Hinterhaus Distilling Calaveras Single Barrel Reserve Wine Barrel Finished is a bourbon bottled at cask strength, meaning it is presented at its natural barrel proof rather than diluted before bottling. As a single barrel release, each batch or barrel can show small differences in character.
The wine-barrel finishing suggests an extra layer of influence beyond the base bourbon style, often adding added fruitiness or tannic depth alongside the familiar bourbon notes of oak, vanilla, and sweetness. At 61.0% ABV, this is likely to drink with notable intensity and may reward a few drops of water.
