Crater Lake Black Butte Whiskey hot on sale

Description

Crater Lake Sprits has joined forces with Deschutes Brewery to create this unique whiskey from Black Butte Porter. Though it may hail from Oregon, Black Butte Whiskey is not your simple western, cowboy whiskey. It’s a sipper not a shooter. An inspiration in a bottle. Given its dual origins it deserves its own place in the liquor cabinet. Aged in new #4 char American oak barrels, the resulting whiskey retains the malty, chocolatey notes of Black Butte Porter and gains woody, earthy flavors from the oak. This is a collaboration of masters who’ve created a liquid intended to be timeless in taste and appreciation.

Distilled from unhoped wash to the recipe of Black Butte porter. A tartness on the nose is quickly joined by sweeter notes of root beer and red apples. Rich and dense on the palate, with vanilla malt, dark chocolate, baking spice, raisins, figs, mint chocolate-chip ice cream, and an appealing barrel-char note. Spicy, with plenty of sweet chocolate on the finish, plus back notes of cocoa powder, dried dark fruits, and another hit of char. Complex and enjoyable.
