{"title":"Amador","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"Born in Kentucky, raised in California\" is the whole idea. Amador Whiskey Co. belongs to Trinchero Family Estates — the St. Helena wine family behind Sutter Home and Napa Cellars — and the concept trades on what they already had in abundance: Napa Valley wine barrels. The company debuted in June 2014 with Ten Barrels, a genuinely odd and much-loved limited release created with Charbay's master distillers Miles and Marko Karakasevic: a California straight whiskey distilled from a craft IPA, finished in Napa Cellars Chardonnay barrels, so the hop character carried straight through. It sold out fast enough that the follow-up went bigger. Double Barrel launched in 2015 with 280 barrels of Kentucky straight bourbon — a mash bill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% malted barley, aged three to ten years in new charred oak — trucked to California and finished in the Trinchero family's estate wine barrels before bottling at 86.8 proof. The Chardonnay-finished Double Barrel earned Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 93 points from Tastings.com; the Cabernet Sauvignon Double Barrel spends nine to twelve months in medium-toast French oak Napa Cab barrels, picking up a faint red hue, crème brûlée richness, and a silky mouthfeel. Vanilla, toast, brown sugar, and spice throughout. A Napa take on Kentucky bourbon, built for a Perfect Manhattan or a slow neat pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Amador collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"amador-double-barrel-chardonnay-finish-whiskey","title":"Amador Double Barrel Chardonnay Finish Whiskey","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eWhiskey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProof:\u003c\/b\u003e 43.40% Alc\/Vol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dive into a world of unique flavor exploration with Amador Double Barrel Chardonnay Finish Whiskey, a distinctive blend that artfully marries the worlds of whiskey and wine.

It is then transferred to Amador County Terra d'Oro Port barrels for 9-12 months, where it develops a red hue, and acquires notes of vanilla and a velvety mouthfeel. With a high rye content, this small-batch whiskey has a classic rye bite, balanced with notes of gingerbread, buttery cookie dough and toffee.

This small-batch, 72% corn classic bourbon is made with care and attention to detail, adhering to the high standards of Kentucky bourbon. The whiskey is aged in new charred American oak barrels for three years, absorbing rich flavors of vanilla, caramel and mildly tart black cherry notes. This aging process gives it a unique character, as it's also aged for 9-12 months in Napa Valley, California in medium toast French oak Napa Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. This secondary aging process gives the whiskey a copper-brown color with a cabernet red hue, adds vanilla characteristics, and gives it a silky mouthfeel. The result is a rich and luxurious bourbon that exudes deep flavors of vanilla and toast, followed by notes of crème brûlée, and a long and complex finish with hints of spice. Whether enjoyed in a cocktail or sipped neat, Amador's Double Barrel Classic Bourbon is the ultimate expression of Kentucky's bourbon culture and lifestyle. Each bottle is 750mL, 90 proof and 45% alcohol by volume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43543833968896,"sku":"C0006376L","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/AmadorCab.jpg?v=1673732705"}],"url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/amador.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
