Ghostwood Blended Bourbon Finished in Chardonnay Casks

I was inspired by some of my favorite scotch when building this unique cask-finished spirit.

Chardonnay casks provide a subtle and distinctive blend of citrus and oak that perfectly complements Ghostwood’s rich flavors.

The result is amazing.

As part of this exploration, I learned a lot about wine creation and the aging process. This led me on an exciting journey of discovery, and I was able to choose exactly what kind of casks work best for this particular spirit.

The outcome is an unparalleled gold amber bourbon whiskey that greets the senses with a fruity aroma, underscored by oak and spices.

THE REACTIONS

“The front is smooth and inviting. And it’s got a bold middle flavor that I love but can’t really describe. The finish is warm honey-almond with a smokey tinge on the very back end. It’s damn good.”

“I love it; it is awesome. It has a sweet start but finishes with a rye-like spice note … incredibly smooth throughout.”

“After my first sip, my eyes popped with surprise. Wood, nutty, slightly buttery and earthy. Very surprised by no burn at 90 proof. Well done for a new distillery.”

“Ghostwood is a whiskey I could drink all day and enjoy.”
