Agitator Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Red Wine Barrels
About the Spirit
Agitator Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Red Wine Barrels is a unique offering that combines the heritage of Kentucky bourbon with the innovative finishing techniques of California winemaking. Distilled in Kentucky from an undisclosed source, this bourbon is aged for at least four years in new charred oak barrels before being shipped to California for its finishing process. There, it is placed in red wine barrels, likely sourced from O’Neill Vintners’ own wine production, to develop additional complexity and character. The red wine barrel finishing process is what sets Agitator apart. While the exact type of red wine and the duration of the finishing are not disclosed, the influence of the wine barrels adds a distinctive layer to the bourbon, creating a richer and more nuanced profile. This finishing process reflects the expertise of O’Neill Vintners and Distillers, a company with deep roots in the wine industry, bringing a unique perspective to the bourbon world. Priced affordably, Agitator appeals to drinkers looking for a bourbon with a creative twist. Its combination of traditional Kentucky bourbon craftsmanship and California wine barrel finishing makes it an intriguing choice for those seeking something different.
