About Cedar Ridge Port Cask Finished Bourbon
Cedar Ridge Port Cask Finished Bourbon is a distinctive Iowa-made bourbon that undergoes a unique two-stage maturation process. First aged in new American oak, it's then finished in estate port wine casks sourced from Cedar Ridge's own locally-produced fortified wine. Bottled at 47% ABV with a mashbill of 74% corn, 14% malted rye, and 12% malted barley, this expression represents vertical integration at its finest. The port cask finish imparts wine-forward complexity and fruit-forward character that sets it apart from standard bourbons. It's ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking something beyond traditional profiles, particularly those who appreciate port wine influences. At its price point, it offers excellent value for a craft-finished bourbon with such distinctive provenance.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose presents bright, inviting aromas of dried cherries, candied fruit, and vanilla, complemented by toasted graham cracker and hints of cinnamon and caramel. There's a pleasant red wine character that signals the port cask influence without overwhelming the bourbon's core identity.
👅 Palate
The palate delivers sweet and savory notes with cherry, vanilla, and stone fruit flavors balanced by dry wood undertones. The mouthfeel is somewhat light, with a great balance between the bourbon's natural sweetness and the port's drier, woody characteristics, along with subtle saltiness.
✨ Finish
The finish is warm and dry, fading from initial spice and cookie notes into lingering vanilla and cherry with a dry oak foundation. It's medium in length with a pleasant, lingering warmth.
