- Description
- Golden Moon's rye whisky begins maturation in new American oak before a finishing period in French oak casks previously used for fortified wine, creating an unusual flavor bridge between American and Old World influences. The new oak imparts bold spice and vanilla, while the fortified wine finish adds dried fruit complexity and subtle sweetness. An intriguing American rye for those seeking unconventional cask finishes.
