The richness of the oak plays against oils, esters and aromas drawn from a carefully balanced blend of herbs, spices and botanicals. Officially classified by the TTB as Whiskey Finished with Spices, it is smoother than a frontier whiskey but more complex and flavorful than a traditional Kentucky bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt starts with pure whiskey front notes and ends with subtle, complex, slightly sweet spice notes, just enough for a delicious, complex finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sunny label makes it a fun California gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpiced whiskeys add botanicals after aging for extra complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large ice cube keeps it cool without heavy dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes an easy Old Fashioned with a twist of orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it with ginger beer and lime in a Whiskey Mule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pairs with barbecue, roasted nuts or apple pie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a great choice for friends new to whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalifornia craft spirit fans will enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep a bottle on hand for game nights and gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a fun conversation starter at parties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure whiskey notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon richness, rye spice, oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle, slightly sweet spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e CALI Distillery, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whiskey finished with spices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn-mash bourbon and rye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85 proof (42.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e California, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour a glass to sip while reading a good book or laughing with friends; it is also lovely over a large cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourbon and rye whiskey finished with herbs, spices and botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewcomers and seasoned whiskey drinkers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I drink it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat or on the rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican Whiskey collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CALI Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023592452405,"sku":"VWS200429370","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-25210.webp?v=1793662672","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/cali-distillery-cali-special-reserve-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
