Rocky Mountain Blackberry Whiskey

Rocky Mountain Blackberry  Whiskey Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our flavored whiskies are made from all-natural ingredients. We simply take our whiskey, blend it with freshly juiced fruit, and finish it in used bourbon barrels before hand bottling and labeling each bottle. The most important step, and the step that no other whiskey distiller takes, is that we age the whiskey together with the added fruit juice in used bourbon barrels. We do this for several reasons. Aging adds barrel flavors to the complexity of the Blackberry whiskey, adding vanilla, toffee, and brown sugar to the finish. But most importantly, the wood of the barrels “breathe,” allowing oxygen in. This oxidizes the blackberries, yielding complex flavor compounds like currants, raisins, and candied fruit.

Varietal Definition
