Amador Whiskey Double Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon Finished Bourbon Whiskey

"Born in Kentucky, raised in California" is Amador's tagline, and it's literal. The brand belongs to Trinchero Family Estates — the Napa wine family behind Sutter Home — and Double Barrel takes Kentucky straight bourbon aged three to ten years, made from a high-corn, wheat-and-rye recipe sourced from Bardstown, and finishes it in the family's own Napa Valley wine barrels for six months or more. The Cabernet Sauvignon edition rests in French oak barrels that held Trinchero Napa Cabernet for nine to twelve months, longer than the original Double Barrel, so the wine cask has real time to work: red fruit, soft tannin, and a dusty, cedar-tinged depth layered over the bourbon's caramel. Bottled at 86.8 proof. The original Double Barrel took Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 93 points from Tastings.com, and the Cabernet finish is the boldest expression of the same idea. Expect dark cherry, blackberry, and plum on the nose over caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, opening into a rich, rounded palate where the Cabernet's fruit and gentle grip meet toffee, baking spice, and a hint of dark chocolate, finishing long with a dry, wine-tinged elegance. Honest note: this is a finished bourbon that leans on its cask — purists wanting straight Kentucky character should look elsewhere. For the wine drinker crossing over to bourbon, or a Manhattan that already tastes like it has a splash of Cab in it, it's built exactly right.
