The project pledges its first $10,000 of first-year revenue to refugee relocation assistance in upstate New York, where the whiskey is bottled. The first edition is a study in barrel finishing across 13 unique marrying casks: two base blends of American whiskeys aged 9 to 16 years were rested in reconditioned sherry barrels for roughly four months, then each micro-blend moved to its own tertiary finishing cask for about six months before being bottled individually at cask strength. Cask 1A5 is built on base blend A, a mix of 60% bourbon, 20% rye, 15% light whiskey and 5% wheat whiskey, and is a highly limited bottling; the sibling cask 1A4 was bottled at 62.5% ABV in 700ml, with Pedro Ximénez sherry resting and a Calvados finish. The producer describes the series as high proof and bold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Project Optimist Whiskey for Displaced People Cask 1A5 700ml online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Project Optimist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752010092800,"sku":"C0010524L","price":100.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/project-optimist-cask-1a5_7a977a0c-60c6-4a99-99ec-e439078f0c53.jpg?v=1792880636","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/project-optimist-whiskey-for-displaced-people-cask-1a5-700ml","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
