Nelson Brothers Cognac Cask Finish Whiskey is part of the brand's Cask Finish Series, a union of tradition and creativity in which select barrels of celebrated Nelson Brothers bourbon are enlivened by the aromas and flavors of the casks that host the final stage of aging.
For this release, French oak casks that originally aged eau-de-vie from the legendary vineyards of Cognac, in Southwestern France, give the bourbon a final finish. The result blends the Cognac's rich color and earthy-sweet notes with the high-rye character of Nelson Brothers Bourbon for an ingenious, irresistible expression.
