Discover Great Jones × Wölffer Estate Cask Finished Bourbon:
Great Jones × Wölffer Estate Cask Finished Bourbon presents a unique fusion of traditional American whiskey craftsmanship with the nuanced influence of wine barrel aging. This spirit is born from a collaboration that marries the robust character of New York-distilled bourbon with the refined elegance imparted by casks from the esteemed Wölffer Estate Vineyard, known for its exceptional wines in Long Island’s storied Hamptons.
The bourbon itself starts as a high-quality distillate, rich in corn-derived sweetness, complemented by rye’s spicy undertones and the mellow complexity brought forth by malted barley. The initial aging process adheres to classic methods, allowing the liquid to imbibe the charred oak’s vanilla and caramel notes while developing a deep amber hue.
Transitioning to its defining stage, this bourbon is then transferred into French oak barrels previously housing Wölffer Estate’s fine red wines. This secondary maturation period allows for an intricate interplay between the bold flavors of American whiskey and the subtle tannins and fruit-forward profiles characteristic of premium red wine. The result is an exquisite layering of dark berry notes dancing alongside traditional bourbon warmth, hints of oak spice, and a whisper of floral aromatics that can be attributed to Wölffer’s terroir.

American Whiskey is a distinct category of distilled spirits primarily made from grains such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. This spirit is characterized by its unique distillation methods—either pot still or column still—and is aged in new charred oak barrels. The aging process varies by type; for instance, straight whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years. The flavor profiles differ significantly among styles: Bourbon offers sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of spice, while Rye Whiskey presents a spicier character with peppery undertones and citrus hints.
The texture of American Whiskey can range from smooth to rich, depending on the specific style being enjoyed. Regions like Kentucky are renowned for Bourbon production, while Tennessee is known for its mellow Tennessee Whiskey that often undergoes charcoal filtering. Commonly used in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, American Whiskey can also be savored neat or on the rocks. Understanding terms like mash bill and proof further enhances appreciation for this versatile spirit.
