Amador - Ten Barrels Hop Flavored Chardonnay
Amador Whiskey Co. believes in elevating the art of distilling to create premium spirits with an edge. This dedication to craft results in the unique taste experience of Amador’s limited release 10-Barrel Hop-Flavored whiskey. Aged in ten barrels over four years, this whiskey is a blend of 90% straight malt and 10% hop-infused whiskey distilled from craft IPA beer, resulting in a satisfying spirit that speaks to its origins.
Both elements are aged separately for over two years in French oak wine barrels before joining forces in Amador Whiskey Co.’s family Chardonnay barrels for another two years. And the taste changes whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or in a whiskey-based cocktail.
Opening the bottle, the whiskey shows a nice integration of French Oak. The color is a classic heavy toast brown. Since the barrels used were not charred, a lot more flavors of the whiskey are available: Honey, Dried Fruit, Smokey, Vanilla from the Barrel, Roasted Barley, and Spices. The hops have meshed with the brown spices, making this a very spicy whiskey. The finish is long and coating.
