Made from a mash of 99% corn and 1% malted barley and bottled at 128 proof, it was released in a run of just 300 cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name is personal to Phinney. Güero, meaning light-skinned or fair-haired, was the affectionate nickname given to him by his crew at his very first winery harvest job, where he was the only white worker on an all-Mexican team, and those harvest days remain some of his fondest memories. The whiskey belongs to the light whiskey category, which allows a high-proof, corn-rich distillate to develop distinctive, dessert-like flavours over long ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich and dense, it offers toasty oak, vanilla bean and baked apple, concentrated by its high strength and fourteen years of maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle carries a weathered, hand-printed label with a bright pink band and comes in a tall tube, a design as bold as the whiskey. It is a striking gift for a collector of rare American whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 128 proof, it rewards a few drops of water, which open up the fruit and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasty oak and vanilla bean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and dense, with baked apple and vanilla.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warm, with oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savage \u0026amp; Cooke (Dave Phinney)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Whiskey (light whiskey), cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Güero Reserve, 300 cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 proof (64% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mash bill 99% corn, 1% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vallejo, California, United States\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\u003eTaste it neat, then add water a few drops at a time.
