Sonoma Distilling Co Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Cask Strength

Sonoma Distilling Co. Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Cask Strength is a craft bourbon that reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and innovation of Sonoma Distilling Co., located in Sonoma County, California. Founded by whiskeymaker Adam Spiegel in 2010, the distillery is known for its commitment to transparency, sustainability, and the use of high-quality, locally and regionally sourced ingredients. This single-barrel, cask-strength bourbon is a wheated bourbon, crafted with a mash bill of 70% corn, 25% wheat, and 5% malted barley, with grains sourced from California, Canada, and Wyoming. What sets this bourbon apart is its production process. The grains are milled in-house, and the whiskey is distilled using direct-fire heated 250-gallon copper alembic pot stills, a traditional method that allows for greater control over the distillation process. The bourbon is aged in a combination of 15, 30, and 53-gallon barrels made from Minnesota and Missouri oak, with a 3rd-degree char and wood that has been dry-aged for 12-24 months. This approach, while unconventional, highlights the distillery’s focus on innovation and experimentation. Bottled at cask strength, this bourbon offers an unfiltered and bold experience, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the raw, unaltered character of single-barrel expressions.
