About Quintessential Single Cask Series: Sauternes Cask Finish
The Quintessential Single Cask Series: Sauternes Cask Finish from Cedar Ridge Vineyards is a high-proof American Single Malt Whiskey, bottled at 61% ABV (122 proof) from a single barrel hand-selected by Master Distiller Murphy Quint. This distillery-only release showcases their award-winning single malt finished in a Sauternes cask—a prestigious sweet white wine from Bordeaux—infusing rich, syrupy botrytis notes of figs, dates, and honeyed fruits into the robust malt base. What makes it special is the masterful balance: powerful cask strength without overwhelming the whiskey's core malt character, delivering decadent yet harmonious flavors that highlight exemplary finishing skills. Ideal for aficionados of bold, cask-finished American single malts seeking complexity beyond standard Scotch or bourbon profiles, it stands out in the 'Other Spirits' category at $52.50 for 750ml, offering premium quality and rarity compared to mass-market options.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Sweet white wine aromas dominate with balanced malt notes, evoking figs and dates without proof heat. Deeper inhales reveal creamy, bready undertones and a bright effervescence, laced with subtle barrel funk reminiscent of aged single malt.
👅 Palate
Fresh figs and oak hit the front, settling into a rich, syrupy mouthfeel with dark cola and vanilla from the malt, complemented by Sauternes sweetness and French oak spice. Mellow pepper emerges alongside creamy fig, maintaining malt prominence over wine.
✨ Finish
Thick, vinous, and chewable with lingering sweetness, fruitiness, and a subtle smoky wisp like fading campfire embers. Medium-length and hand-holding rich.
